Friedrich the Great stands at the centre of this beautiful scene (after the well-known painting by Menzel), playing his beloved flute. Contemporaries report that the great king and brave soldier had stage fright before these concerts in his inner circle. Only after his old teacher Quantz gave him an appreciative nod did he seem more relaxed. In addition to members of the court orchestra, the series shows confidants from the king's entourage.
