Carl Nielsen on film, 1926

The only footage made of the Danish composer Carl Nielsen. Filmed in 1926 at the Copenhagen home of his friend Carl Johan Michaelsen. It's all very silly!
Text translation:
0'00: Stockholmgade 51, Christmastime 1926
0'18: Carl Nielsen comes to visit
1'10: We would like to hear a bit of your new Flute Concerto, unless you prefer "Jens Vejmand". The children can sing that one.
1'26: Oh, you want to play something from "The Mother", because she is so pretty. Well, go on as you please.
