Phillip Sear plays a droll waltz in Swiss style by the French composer Émile Pessard (1843–1917) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #2 from 'Voyages sur un tabouret de piano' (Voyages on a piano stool) Op.51 (1890) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm sure that the Parisian composer Émile Louis Fortuné Pessard (1843–1917)—winner of the Prix de Rome in 1866—would wish to be remembered for his operas and church music. However, he seems to live on through one piece—'Andalouse', which remains popular in an arrangement (I think) for flute and piano. This enjoyable piece comes from a set of six pieces for people with small hands (which doesn't mean 'easy'), each of which depicts a different country. During the introduction of the waltz, Alpine horn calls seem to be heard.
