If you would like to know more about Ludvig Schytte (1848-1909) the Danish pianist and composer of this piece,  have a look at his own brief account of his life written in 1901 in the March edition of the Etude magazine, which can be downloaded from here: http://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/etude/20/  I am not quite sure what set of pieces this comes from (I played from an Augener album).  I suspect that it is the first movement of his Op.23, Gavotte, Musette et Polonaise—but I can't be sure until I see the complete score.  This was one of the first pieces by this composer that I ever learned—more than 50 years ago!
