all vanished during German occupation of Austria during
World War II. Hugo Gottesmann had left Vienna in the
early 30TH and settled down in the United States to
teach and conduct, also becoming a member of the famous
Adolf Busch Quartet. This forgotten song, likely not
having been performed for over 80 years, is
entertaining with a touch of sensuality, suggested to
be played con-sordino with harp accompaniment, or with
piano, then of course without sordino.
