Wilhelm Berger : Tänzchen , No. 3 from ' Sechs Klavierstücke fürs Haus ' Op 105

The German pianist and composer Wilhelm Berger (1861-1911) was actually born in Boston, where his father was working for a few years, but returned to Germany as a baby, and studied and spent his working life in Berlin, where he gained a reputation as pianist, conductor, and composer in an academic style. This piece comes from a set of 'six piano pieces for the home' - actually a forerunner of the 'gebrauchsmusik' works of Hindemith, written for modest resources. It is neither teaching or salon music, but art-music written to be played at home, probably on upright pianos, and to be enjoyed by amateurs and professionals alike. The set was published in 1910, a year before Berger's early death following a stomach operation, and is one of his last works.

Thank you for performing and posting this exquisite piece! Wilhelm Berger is inexplicably forgotten nowadays. While he might have been unevenly inspired, his Variations and Fugue for symphony orchestra are very beautiful, his Serenade for winds delightfully nostalgic. Some of his chamber music is worth discovering as well. The Second Symphony is said to be one of his masterpieces, let us hope for a recording by CPO or another record company.
