Phillip Sear plays a ländler from a set of albumleaves by the Bohemian composer Josef Nešvera (1842-1914). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #7 from ''Listky do památniku' (literally 'memorial petals'), Op.68 (1901) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bohemian composer and organist Josef Nešvera (1842-1914) studied in Prague and later had a career as a choral conductor and music director at various churches, and was a friend of Smetana. He wrote much liturgical music - including several dozen masses and five requiems - but also several operas plus orchestral, chamber, organ and piano music. Uploading this video on the supposed 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death makes me think how interesting it would be to see Nešvera's greatest (1897) operatic success - 'Perdita', an adaptation of 'A Winter's Tale', with a libretto by Jaroslav Kvapil - better-known as the librettist of Dvořák's 'Rusalka'. . The title of this carefully worked piece can be literally translated as 'neighbourhood'.
