[…] German relatives in Berlin. Her adoptive father was the pianist and composer Karl Klindworth who was a great friend and supporter of Richard Wagner, and he brought Winifred up as the 'perfect Wagnerite'. Siegfried died in 1930, only four months after his domineering mother. He was 61, his wife would outlive him by nearly 50 years.
