Phillip Sear plays an elegy in the style of a Russian romance by the American composer Albert Gehring (1870-1926). ---------------------------------------------------- #4 from Suite poétique (1925) ---------------------------------------------------- The American composer Albert Gehring (1870-1926) was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He was a Harvard-educated polymath, and made a career as both philosopher and musician. I am not sure who he trained with, but the music in the suite from which this piece comes is all very carefully and economically written. It is remarkable how this piece seems to capture the Russian spirit (although it is not described as such in its rather corny title). One would like to see Gehring's 1918 marionette play 'The Soul of Chopin'. Otherwise, as a composer, he is best known for songs.
