Forgotten
Mrs. Sidney Pratten
Again a very romantic piece from the Victorian era by Mrs. Sidney Pratten, also known as Catharina Josepha Pelzer (1821- 1895). Refer to the description of Eventide for some more biographical data of Mrs. Pratten.
After a short introduction with the character of a prelude, the piece reflects the main title, which is Forgotten. It sounds like a Valse Triste.
This piece reflects the fact that Pratten composed with her customers in mind. Guitaristic devices like chromatically shifting chords can be heard in many of her pieces. Well, for her pupils she should not compose too complex, wasn't it?
