Phillip Sear plays a short piece  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!   

I have never been able to establish what set of pieces this comes from (I played from an album), its date of composition, or its Danish title - if there is one.  "Cantilène is a term that refers to a monodic song in Romance language from the Middle Ages, or a sentimental vocal or instrumental piece."
