Phillip Sear plays a piece from a very fine set of concert studies in all the major and minor keys from 1867 by the German composer Wilhelm Krüger (1820-83). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wilhelm Krüger (1820-83) was born in Stuttgart, and studied there with Lindpaintner. From 1845 he was based in Paris, but returned to Stuttgart in 1870 on the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war, and taught at the conservatory there. He wrote mainly for piano, including studies, nocturnes, genre pieces and transcriptions. This wonderful set of studies is prefaced by a letter of approval from Daniel Auber, president of the committee for musical studies at the Paris Conservatoire. Some of the pieces bear comparison with the studies of Chopin and Henselt in musical and technical interest - unlike so many studies of the period, they are concise, and never outstay their welcome.
