Phillip Sear plays a song without words by the German composer Richard Kügele (1850-1920)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The German composer Richard Kügele (1850-1920) was born in Silesia, and studied music in Berlin.  He made a career as a music teacher in seminaries, and was known as a composer of songs and choruses; he also wrote textbooks.  This song without words (published in a journal in 1884) owes a debt to Mendelssohn, but also has echoes of Henselt in the variation on the opening theme which closes the piece.
