Description	Annotation translation: "Esau Meme is the name of this perhaps 16-year-old youth who volunteered to teach a group of boys in his home village.

It doesn't sound very harmonious yet, but they sing with all their hearts."; Annotation: "Esau Meme heisst der etwa 16 jährige Junge, der freiwillig eine Schar Buben in seinem Heimatdorfe unterrichtete.
