Very charming waltz which Franz Schubert is believed to have played on Leopold Kupelwieser's wedding on September 13, 1826. According to the notes, the music was never written down by the composer, but passed on from generation to generation by ear. Finally in 1943, Mautner Markhof (born Kupelwieser) asked the composer Richard Strauss, a friend of the family, to transcribe it. The composer rose galantly to the task, adding a few refinements of his own, as Schubert connoiseurs are quick to point out. The painting in this video was done by Leopold Kupelwieser and Schubert can be seen standing on the back of the coach (slightly bending over) during one of the frequent trips to the countryside with his beloved friends.
