About Carl Heins (1859-1923) I can find very little information except that he was German, wrote a lot of salon music, and had a hit with the song 'Zwei Dunkle Augen', which was recorded by the tenor Fritz Wunderlich. One of his other better-known pieces is 'Die Schwarzwälder Uhr' (the Black Forest clock). Stylistically his music is similar to that of his older compatriot Carl Böhm, and much of it sounds like the sort of music one might hear played on a zither in an Alpine inn.
