The French composer, pianist and organist Georges Lamothe (1842-94) was well-known in the late 19th century for his light music - particularly waltzes in the style of the Strauss family.  He was widely travelled (he visited Algeria), and for a time held an appointment at the Spanish court.  He also worked as a pianist at the Théâtre Robert-Houdin, which was well-known for its magic shows.  This piece comes from a set of easy-going depictions of the four seasons., and is dedicated to Madame Napoleone Voarino, a Belgian pupil of Moscheles, and a popular pianist of the day.
