" Now played quite a bit, the music of Johann Kaspar Mertz. 1806-1856. was virtually unknown when Leisner recorded and published some of his music almost 30 years ago. Here, two of Mertz's pieces display the passionate Romanticism of this music. The classics include the sublime Prelude, Fugue and Allegro by J. S.
