Lodewijk Mortelmans (1868-1952) was one of the leading Flemish composers of the last century. He was a pupil of Peter Benoit in Antwerp, and later taught for many years at the Antwerp Conservatory. Mortelmans uses a very conservative idiom, but the sudden key changes show him as a 20th century composer. His piano writing shows considerable craftsmanship and the accompanying figures are carefully thought out. I like the sense of joyousness conveyed by this piece. For more on Mortelmans, see the Wiki page on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lodewijk_Mortelmans . There is also a biography on his publisher's website - http://bit.ly/2wzLrre - where you can see a list of the many works of his that are available in print.
