Phillip Sear plays an eloquent cradle song from a set of album leaves by the German composer Gustav Merkel (1827–1885). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #4 from 'Albumblätter', Op.18 (1858) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gustav Merkel studied piano with Schumann's father-in-law, Friedrich Wieck, but was primarily known as an organist, and much of his music is for the organ. He spent most of his career in Dresden, where, though a Lutheran, he became organist at the Catholic Hofkirche. Most of Merkel's music reminds me of the work of Neils Gade—both composers being greatly influenced by Schumann and Mendelssohn.
