Phillip Sear plays an Edwardian period-piece from 1910 by the fascinating British composer Robert Coningsby Clarke (1879-1934). ------------------------------------------------------------ I had come across the name of Robert Coningsby Clarke as a composer of forgotten Edwardian ballads, but this is the first piano piece of his that I have seen. He had a fascinating life, studying music with Sir Frederick Bridge at Westminster Abbey, and later marrying the cousin (and lesbian lover) of the writer Radclyffe Hall, with whom the couple lived in what might have been a ménage à trois. There is an interesting account of his life here: t.ly/9rtD .
