Hi Jody,

Ouch! you hit me! I don't know about Lyonel Feininger, exept he was an American painter and lived in Germany. Taught in Berlin and died 1956. His paintings are called cubistic though he did it prismatic. That's all. Never knew that he also was a composer, but obviously there is sheet music of him which Wolfgang Heisig brought to rolls. Shouldn't we ask Wolfgang Heisig about him and his compositions ? If needed, I could make a translation from text of Wolgang Heisig for Robbie and he could make a translation of it for the public ;-).

Best regards, Horst
