Phillip Sear plays a musical evocation of 'little silver-fish' from 1861 by the German composer Theodor Oesten (1813-70). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Theodor (or Theodore) Oesten (1813-70) was a German composer, pianist and teacher, who was born, studied and worked in Berlin. As well as piano, he was also proficient on the clarinet and other wind and stringed instruments. He became famous for his salon pieces - many of them educational - but also wrote symphonies and choral music. This piece shares a title (the French alternative 'l'Argentine') with a famous waltz by Eugène Ketterer, but I think this is the more interesting piece! I'm sure that Oesten had in mind fish living in the water, rather than the silverfish that infest our kitchens.
