Phillip Sear plays a sentimental, but well-written salon piece from 1863 by the German composer Heinrich Lichner (1829-98)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The German composer, conductor and organist Heinrich Lichner (1829-98) is best remembered for sonatinas and other teaching music for piano, some of which is still used today, especially in Japan and Korea (I believe).  His other work is less well known.  Maybe this piece has a rather generic theme and opening, but there are some beautiful moments, particularly in the middle section and in the coda.
