Phillip Sear plays one of a set of 24 'Études de Perfectionnement' (1858) which formed the third and final part of a school of piano playing 'Song and Mechanism' by the French composer and pianist Camille Stamaty. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The French composer and pianist Camille-Marie Stamaty (1811-70) - son of Greek-born father - actually began his working life as a civil servant, but soon turned to music, and, as a pupil of Kalkbrenner and Mendelssohn had glittering career as a celebrity piano teacher and salon pianist in Paris. His own star pupils included Gottschalk and Saint-Saëns. There is an excellent Wikipedia article on him here: http://bit.ly/2nCMDX2 . Stamaty's composing style was quite old-fashioned for 1858, and harks back to Cramer - but there are some fascinating, well-crafted pieces among his studies, including this one, which I am sure Schumann would have been pleased to have written. A redowa is "a dance of Czech origin with turning, leaping waltz steps that was most popular in Victorian era European ballrooms". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
