Walther von Goethe (1818-1885), grandson and last living descendant of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, was a composer and court chamberlain. His German wikipedia entry (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_von_Goethe) has a partial work list, and there is a concert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx3j0y0MDxs) of his songs and piano pieces, also works by other composers, on Youtube with soprano Paula Bär-Giese, accompanying herself on the Lyraflügel (https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/505333), Benedictus Schleip, Berlin ca 1848. The full concert is available on Soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/musicksmonument/paula-bar-giese-sopranopianist-munchen-nationalmuseum-concert-2018?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=0&si=063678646A59429BA2EDDA826784DF69&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing).
