Carl Peter

German composer (born 1866 - d. 1942). Peter composed more than 90 songs. His most popular piece was his 1881 march "Der Kreuzfidele Kupferschmied" (op. 70), known in English as "The Jolly Coppersmith", in French as "Le Joyeux Forgeron"; part of the song requires whistling and playing on an anvil. Other works by him are the 1887 fast polka "Bei der frischen kühlen Blonde" (op. 86) and the 1889 waltz "Blüthen der Muse" (op. 91).
