You would never guess from listening to No. 2 that it had any strange time signature set up at all!

Yes, amazingly, Neal's bar lines are musically correct and it all flows along naturally. The bar lines seem to make more sense than scoring it like Satie would--without bars.
Thank you fore more Sauer (sour??)! Despite all sentiment S. avoids by a certain margin the „shoals of Salonmusik“.
When playing the nice Berceuse (with a touch of a Barcarola) „An der Wiege“, I was reminded that Sauer had 10 legitimate children (I think he was over 80 when No. 10 was born!) and possibly some illegitimate!!
But in those times the term „modern father” did not exist and the upbringing was mainly done by a couple of hired „specialists“.

Goodness! Sauer was quite prolific. We can depend on Alfor for these obscure bits of musical history!.
Thanks to Malcom for the additional Sauer pieces. "Aus Lichten Tagen" is a nice collection of 5 short character pieces and I especially like No. 1 "Erste Lenzesboten" - which I hope someone can translate for us. These pieces do remind me of Schumann.

To my (enhanced ) knowledge Sauer had 9 children with his first wife (ref.: S.'s memoirs „Mein Leben“) and 2 sons with his second wife, his pupil Angelica Morales, which he married in 1939!
„Erste Lenzesboten“ = „First messengers of springtime”. „Lenz“ is the poetical term for „Frühling” („spring”); you may know the German folk-song „Nun will der Lenz uns grüßen“, actually composed in 1885 by a certain August Fischer; words by Karl Ströse based on medivial sources.

Emil - his etudes are much more substantial and well worth exploring. All of them are available on IMSLP and a selection here on Pianophilia [posted by Alfor].
My last two works by Emil von Sauer [apologies, again not brilliant copies to work from, but readable].
