Let us be forgiving…

Ute Neumerkel, who has produced several fascinating videos about Furtwängler (on YouTube), has recorded a work by our favourite musician herself..

This is a waltz for piano, catalogue number WF16, composed by the eight-year-old musician. It's cute, pleasant, rather well written... but hardly a harbinger of the future composer of the Klavierquintett or the Symphonic Concerto.

To remind us that Furtwängler was also eight years old once...
