[Played so beautifully by Yvain Delahousse and Cheryl Swoboda]
But who was Arisides von Manowarda? All I could find out is that this piece is part of a collection of manuscripts and published material that belonged to Karl Stumpf that is in the archives of the New York Public Library. You can follow this link for the contents of the archive.
von Manowarda was around Vienna in 1942, and his parents were singers connected with the Vienna State Opera (Josef von Manowarda and Cornelia "Nelly" Pirchhoff-Manowarda), where Aristides seems to have played viola, but that is all I know (aside from learning from the above Wikipedia article that his father was a Nazi). Maybe that's all I need to know. I hope Aristides didn't embrace his father's ideology, but fear he may have.
Oy.
If you know more please leave information in the comments. Or maybe it is better not to know more.
