Phillip Sear plays a piece from a set of musical 'ivy branches' by the talented Latvian German composer Nicolai von Wilm (1834-1911).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Latvian German composer (Peter) Nicolai von Wilm (1834-1911) was born in Riga, Latvia, and studied at the Leipzig conservatory.  He had various conducting and teaching positions in Riga, St. Petersburg, and latterly, Wiesbaden, where he died.  He is best-known for educational music.  This very well-written piece cries out for an individual title, but comes from a 1900 set of six piano pieces: 'Epheuranken' (Ivy branches).  The musical style veers between Mendelssohn and Schumann.
