Phillip Sear plays a French cafe-style waltz by the Ukrainian/French pianist and composer Alec Siniavine (1906-96)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pianist and composer Alexandre (Alec) Siniavine (1906-96) was born in Odesa, Ukraine, but moved to Romania as a child, and studied at the Bucharest conservatory, from when he moved to Paris.  He made a career there as a cabaret pianist and composer of songs for the likes of Jean Sablon, Maurice Chevalier, Juliette Greco and Edith Piaf.  He also had his own trio.  You can read much more about his life here: http://tinyurl.com/o5ne3jh .  This piece comes from a suite called 'Au jardin d'enfants' (In a children's garden) - I am not sure when it was published.
