Description
"Weimar - "Ilm-Athen" and "Goethestadt" with the neighboring town of Buchenwald. The famous conductor, musicologist and writer Peter Gülke, descendant of the Vulpius family, visualizes the formative experiences of his life in this book: childhood in a city that "the leader" loved to visit; the youth in the Stalinist GDR; the music profession in the controlled state; Then in 1983 the decision to leave the country because the pressure from the Stasi had become unbearable; 1990 returns to his "distant, close, desecrated, beloved Weimar", which has become another city. The prospect of past epochs opens up again and again, Goethe, his wife Christiane Vulpius, Herder, Schiller, Schopenhauer, but also Schubert, Bach, Mendelssohn - how portraits of musicians and brilliant music descriptions form another focus of the book. A recurring motive are the visits to the Ettersberg and the attempt to explain "the inconceivable" of the crime against humanity. Perhaps the city in which so much of its past hangs must seem completely lost in order to be seen anew, to be accepted anew."--book flap.
