Violin-piano duett, 1928 by Eduard Frank, played by Rosalie Cass (14, piano) and Jana Kaminsky (13, violin). Eduard Frank is an unknown composer who left this, now totally obscure piece, dedicated to Hugo Gottesmann, with Ludwig Kern who ran a music shop and small scale publishing business in Vienna 1, Kolowratring 9 (now Schubert Ring). The shop, publishing business, Frank and Kern all vanished during German occupation of Austria during World War II. Hugo Gottesmann reappered as a member of the Adolf Busch Quartet, Bush being a rather famous Violinist. This piece, 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. The music, found between second hand books brought in from Vienna, may be downloaded here: 128.95.152.162
