This piece comes from a piano suite by the celebrated American jazz cornettist Bix Beiderbecke (1903-31). You can also hear it in a YouTube video by Bryan Wright (with two of the other three pieces of the suite), and in a commercial recording by Marco Fumo.

No, not the Schubert one, but a piece by Lange requested by a YouTube viewer. Written in a quite anachronistic style in the mid-19th century, there is nothing in this undemanding piece (which is still in print in a Japanese edition) that would have surprised Mozart or Haydn.

Lack (1846-1921) studied and later taught at the Paris Conservatoire. It was his pedagogical "Methode de piano" of 1909 that introduced Debussy's "Le petit negre" to the world. This very well written salon piece should appeal to anyone who likes the works of Chaminade or Godard.
