Phillip Sear plays an Expressionist take on sadness from 1929 by the very obscure German or Austrian composer Walter Jungmann.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This piece appeared in a Salabert anthology (c. 1929) of contemporary piano music edited by Isidor Philipp.  I have not been able to find any information on the composer, although I have seen reference to CD of songs by Walter Jungmann, who could possibly be the same person.

My thumbnail shows an illustration by the American illustrator George Wharton Edwards (1859-1950) for an 1895 book of old English love songs.
