Carl Heins: Am Alpensee

Details

Description

Phillip Sear plays 'By the Alpine Lake' by the German composer Carl Heins.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About Carl Heins (1859–1923) I can find very little information except that he was German, wrote a lot of salon music, and had a hit with the song 'Zwei Dunkle Augen', which was recorded by the tenor Fritz Wunderlich. One of his other better-known pieces is 'Die Schwarzwälder Uhr' (the Black Forest clock). Stylistically his music is similar to that of his older compatriot Carl Böhm, and much of it sounds like the sort of music one might hear played on a zither in an Alpine inn.

This piece seems to have been published in an album from an obscure German publisher ('Hymnophon'), and I am not sure of its date or opus number (if any).
