I thought it was about time we explored the music of Samuel de Lange (1840-1911), older bother of Daniƫl. Wikipedia has this:

His musical works include over 800 compositions, among which are 13 string quartets, many organ compositions, three cello concertos, two piano concertos, two violin concertos, one viola concerto, four piano sonatas, four violin sonatas, three cello sonatas, a clarinet sonata in c minor,[1] five piano trios, a piano quintet, a string quintet and hundreds of vocal works in a variety of settings.
