Peter CudlipHOST
Here is one of what he called Four Fragments, written in 1902.
Peter CudlipHOST
This is called Sad Song and was written for cello and piano, but here the piano is replaced by that slightly more sombre instrument, the harmonium, played by Paolo Giacometti, and the cello is played by Peter Wispelwey.
Peter CudlipHOST
It's about four and a half minutes long.

Peter CudlipHOST
That was Anton Arensky's Sad Song from his 1902 collection Four Fragments.
Peter CudlipHOST
Paolo Giacometti played the harmonium and the cello was played by Peter Vispelvee.
Peter CudlipHOST
A year after Arensky wrote that piece, a Finnish playwright by the name of Arne Järnefelt wrote a play called Death, which you'd have to think was not a great marketing ploy for a good night out in Helsinki, and which may explain why it is pretty much forgotten today.
