Phillip Sear plays a 1923 arrangement of a Russian folk song - 'First Sorrow' - by  Eduard Schütt (1856-1933).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Eduard (or Edouard) Schütt (1856-1933), though Russian-born, latterly lived in Vienna and Switzerland (and died in the Italian Tyrol), and his own music is cosmopolitan in style.  However, rather like that of Fauré, his music has some very distinctive harmonic and technical fingerprints that make it very identifiable. This piece comes from one of his very last published works, and one can imagine him looking back to his Russian childhood from his homes in Vienna or Switzerland via the sophisticated cosmopolitan musical language that delighted the salons of the aristocratic villas that he frequented in the late 19th century.
