Phillip Sear plays the first from a set of 20 'morceaux caractéristiques' (characteristic pieces) from 1882 by the Danish pianist and composer Ludvig Schytte. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: https://goo.gl/zy5trR . NB, his name is pronounced "Skite" as I understand! The 20 'Promenades musicales' were dedicated to Schytte's fellow Danish pianist/composer August Winding (1835-99). 'Dolce far niente' is an Italian phrase that translates as 'pleasantly doing nothing'. Interestingly, although this piece is the first in the set, the second is entitled 'Prelude'!
