Familienzeugnis

" ... da es sich hierbei um eine der frühesten erhaltenen Kompositionen des damals 11-jährigen Franz Xaver Mozart, genannt Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Sohn, handelt. 1802 seiner lieben Mutter zum Namensfeste gewidmet, stellt die hier erstmals veröffentlichte Komposition zugleich ein besonders rührendes Familienzeugnis dar."
Somehow I just can´t find a good way to express the idea of "Familienzeugnis".

Comment: "I was never really satisfied with my translation of this, but eventually had to submit it and went with the version, derived from Nicole´s: "... represents a particularly touching family tribute.” Idwerk´s “family testament” was a close contender. But thanks to everyone who contributed. "
