Published on , by La Gazette Drouot

Das Klavierspiel, stolen by the Nazis in 1939, has been returned to the heirs of Henri Hinrichsen. Of some 1,500 works seized by German customs in 2012 at the home of Nazi-era art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt’s son, it is the last of 14 definitively identified as having been looted by the Nazis to be restituted.
