#4 from Liebesfeste, Op.27 (1901)
------------------------------------------------------
Phillip Sear plays a piece in classical style from a suite evoking Watteau's 'Fête galante' style, by the Polish composer Stanisław Niewiadomski (1859–1936).
-------------------------------------------------------
The Polish composer Stanisław Niewiadomski (1859–1936) was born and died in what are now parts of Ukraine. He spent much of his professional life in Lviv, which, during the composer's lifetime, was the capital of Galicia, an autonomous region within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Niewiadomski had studied in Lviv with Chopin's pupil Mikuli, and later taught there. After WW1, he spent some years in Warsaw, where he was particularly active as a music critic. The pieces in this set are essentially classical pastiches, and evoke the activities of the characters typically shown in 'Fête galante' paintings. For more information on this genre, invented by Watteau, see: http://bit.ly/2fGTijN . The composer might well have been thinking specifically of Watteau's 1717 painting known in Germany as 'Das Liebesfest' ( http://bit.ly/2fGQ8wc ).
