About the piece
Pure as Snow, published in German as Edelweiss after the alpine flower, another of Lange's substantial popular successes and frequently reprinted in English-language editions.
The alpine and floral titles that fill this repertoire were part of its commercial appeal, promising the purchaser a specific sentiment along with the notes, and publishers marketed such pieces accordingly.
