Charles Neustedt: Pensée, Op.77 No.1
From 6 Feuillets d'Album'
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The French composer Charles Neustedt (1838-1908) seems to have written a few popular gavottes, tyroliennes and operatic fantasies, but I cannot find much information on his life. The score used for this video indicates that he was 'professor' at the Couvent des Oiseaux and College Rollin. The first of these institutions was a famous Parisian gaol of the French revolution, which was turned into a convent in 1824. The second was a private college in the Rue Lhomond. I guess he may have been what we would now call a peripatetic music teacher. He was obviously well regarded, as I have seen several works by other composers dedicated to him. This piece comes from the same set as ' Le Chant du Gondolier', which I have recorded previously.
