Thank you so much for sharing this incredible composition. My late mother Martha Hirsch (nee Sommer) learned to play this as a very young woman in Frankfurt before she had to flee from Germany at the age of 18. She eventually came to New York where she became the organist at a synagogue. I was born in 1950 and had the privilege of hearing her play this at the beginning of Kol Nidre services each year until she retired and ultimately passed away in 2009. Listening to you playing it filled me with much emotion and I thank you very much for this wonderful interpretation. Alles gutes. David Hirsch
Hello, David--some relatives of mine who are also related to Sigfried Hirsch (my mother's uncle) saw your comment here and would love to get in touch with you. If you see this message, my name is Meryl Alcabes and I'm the only person with that name as far as I know. I'm pretty easy to find online. I've looked for you--but David Hirsch is a pretty common name. It was lovely to read your comment!
