About this book
A trumpet lesson in a garden arbour brings Werner and Margaretta closer together. Joseph Victor von Scheffel tells their story in narrative verse, drawing on the landscapes of the Rhine and the Black Forest. Werner explains how the instrument works and helps Margaretta produce its notes. When her father, the Baron, hears an old cavalry call, his irritation gives way to pleasure. Music carries both the practical lesson and the growing affection between teacher and pupil.
In the dedication, the poet describes writing his Black Forest song on Capri, recalling home during a rainy Roman winter. The outspoken cat Hiddigeigei and a troublesome woodland spirit bring comic and fanciful figures into the verse.
