Hans Engelmann: Between Friends

Hans Engelmann (1872-1914) - not to be confused with the living composer Hans Ulrich Engelmann - was born in Berlin but emigrated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as a young man. He settled and married there, and embarked on an apparently prolific career as a composer of parlour and educational pieces. With this piece from 1903 he had reached Op. 600 at the age of 31, and although he died young, he had more than 800 numbered works to his credit. As far as I can tell, this piece does not have an opus number. It is very sentimental, but there is something oddly compelling about it, and it has an admirable directness of expression . YouTube member Nanahudnall has kindly supplied this excellent observation: 'I can picture friends just chatting and maybe rowing in a boat together. Then stopping for a picnic under a shade tree, laying on a blanket, and falling asleep for an afternoon nap! Ahhh peace!'
