Phillip Sear plays a most beautiful Chopinesque prelude from a set of ten by Gaston Bernheimer (1880-1939). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The very obscure Jewish composer Gaston (or Gastone) Bernheimer (1880-1939) seems to have lived and worked in France, although this prelude indicates some Russian influence (early Scriabin, Arensky?). The dedicatee of the set (from 1908) was Madame Ménard-Dorian. This would have been Louise Ménard-Dorian, wife of a radical politician, who ran literary soirées, attended by Zola, Daudet and other influential figures.
