#10 from 'Aus fremden Ländern—10 Klavierstücke nach Volksliedern' (In foreign countries—10 piano pieces after popular songs), Op. 107 (1906)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phillip Sear plays a serenade in Slavonian style by the German pianist and composer Gustav Lazarus (1861–1920).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Born in Cologne, Lazarus studied at the conservatory there (his teachers included Isidor Seiss and Gustav Jensen (brother of Adolf)).  Lazarus himself taught piano at conservatories in Berlin and also had a performing career.  As a composer, he wrote operas, choral works, chamber music, songs and piano pieces.  He is not to be confused with a slightly later Swedish composer of the same name.  This piece comes from a set of 10 pieces, each evoking a different country.  As such, it probably derives its inspiration from Schumann's 1838 'Von fremden Ländern und Menschen' (Kinderszenen) and Moszkowski's similarly scoped set of duets 'Aus aller Herren Länder' (1879).  Slavonia is the easternmost region of Croatia with its own distinct folk music culture.
