Program Details

The Guillaume Tell overture was arranged for piano four-hands.

Kücken’s “Die Erwartung” was sung by a tenor whose name is very hard to make out in the citations (it looks like “F. Lehrnkuhl”).

The Witt partsong “Die Thräne” was performed by “Lehrnkuhl,” Klee, and two other singers named Kleinfelder and Gotthold whom we cannot further identify.
