Phillip Sear plays a charming albumleaf - dedicated to his wife - by the German-born American organist and composer Peter Schnecker (1850-1903). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter August Schnecker (1850-1903) was born in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, but emigrated to the USA at around 15, where he studied organ in New York. He returned briefly to Germany for in 1874 further studies in Leipzig, but returned to New York, where he became organist at a Presbyterian church - a post he held for 32 years, apparently missing only four services (what dedication!). He composed mainly organ and church music.
