Hermann Wollenhaupt: Nocturne Melancolique, Op.4

I like Wollenhaupts style, so here is another beautiful piece by him. Score on pianophilia.
Wollenhaupt (1827-1863) was a German pianist, composer, and teacher. He studied at the Leipzig Conservatorium with Julius Knoor (piano) and Moritz Hauptmann (composition). Following his arrival in the United States in 1845, he appeared as pianist on various occasions with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and in other concerts, and attained a distinguished career as a pianist, teacher, and composer. In 1855 he undertook a successful concert tour of Europe. He wrote nearly 100 compositions, chiefly for the piano, including five Morceaux caractéristiques en forme d’Etude, op. 22; Nocturne, op. 29, no. 10; A Bord de l’Arago, valse brilliant, op. 33; Fantasia, “Il Trovatore,” op. 43; Stories of Nocomis, for four hands, op. 48; Star Spangled Banner, paraphrase brilliant, op. 60; and many transcriptions and arrangements. His compositions have been successfully used as teaching pieces, and many of them were also published in Europe....

Bellissima scrittura, ma a me ricorda quella di Field, più che quella di Chopin. Egregio Maestro, lei in questo genere di repertorio è veramente straordinario!!! Grazie per il bellissimo post!

Belíssimo Noturno!
Toca a Alma profundamente e a mudança de tonalidade acessa os botões da Melancolia.
Perfeito!
