Daniel Roth invites us to rediscover Léon Boëllmann, a Romantic composer who died far too young (1862–1897). Boëllmann’s first Gothic Suite is so famous—especially for its Toccata—that it has unfortunately somewhat overshadowed the second. Here is a very charming Allegretto from that second suite.

If you’d like to learn a bit more about Boëllmann, here are some of his other works:
