C Galos : 'Sur le Lac Majeur' (Impression d'un Soir)

This piece is by the mysterious author of another lake piece - the still-popular 'Le Lac de Côme' (Lake Como), 6th Nocturne, which I have also recorded for YouTube. The title translates as 'On Lake Maggiore' (a lake that lies between Switzerland and Italy). I had thought he/she was Italian, but having seen discussions on the subject on a piano forum, I think that the author - often spelt as 'Galas' - was French, and quite possibly female, and had died (or given up writing) by 1924. Galos's pieces are composed of stock salon music techniques and gestures. However,, they succeed where so much similar music has been forgotten because they lie well on the piano, have pleasant melodies, and, above all, they are well-proportioned and concise.
