About Kurt Noack
- Kurt Noack (13 February 1893 – 1 January 1945) was a German composer of light music. His first hit was Heinzelmännchens Wachtparade ("The Brownies' Guard Parade", op.
- 5 in D major, 1912), which soon appeared in dozens of different arrangements.
- The original version for two-handed piano was published by Baltischer Musikverlag in Szczecin. The first edition bears an illustration of three white-bearded dwarfs, in green clothing and red caps, walking from left to right along a path lined with seven toadstools in front of a cloudy blue sky.
- Each dwarf has his right leg aloft, and holds in his left hand a rather bulky looking gun which is largely concealed from the viewer. The rather negative assessment of the piece by critics ("trivial, shallow") in no way harmed its popularity.
- There are numerous recordings. Very little is known about this composer, but he was for many years the bandmaster at the luxurious Hotel Preussenhof in Szczecin.
