Mary's Merriment

Mary's Merriment is documented by a single recording within Leitner's series of flute, harp and orchestra albums. Leitner combines a conservatory background — flute with Wolfgang Schulz in Vienna, then Robert Aitken in Freiburg — with a career built outside the orchestral track: her own recordings, chamber-music workshops in Ireland, Northern Ireland, China, Iran and South Africa, and a video channel that had passed twenty-five million views by 2019. The piece is a short dance-like number in the lighter half of her catalogue, and its date of composition has not been established.
