Ignace Leybach (1817-91) was a French pupil of Chopin and Kalkbrenner, who settled in Toulouse where he became (from 1844) cathedral organist. He wrote music for both piano and organ, and his piano works included a series of nocturnes - of which the 5th became particularly well-known. So well-known that my video is at least the fifth to appear on YouTube - but it is good to have a go at it. I guess the popularity must be linked to the grand sentimentality of the piece, with its rapid repeated chords. It is still in print, and described on Musicroom as 'a wonderfully animated and lively piece with some truly beautiful expressive moments'.
