Description:
What remains? Peter Gülke distills the richness of his life as a writer, musician, musicologist, and politically minded contemporary into incisive reflections. As a critical witness to an entire century, he takes readers into the teeming world of cultural and social developments, while also sharing—in his characteristic dense and linguistically masterful style—his experiences and insights regarding music, literature, and art. His unflinching account of his own aging and the deaths of important people testifies to the great sincerity that permeates his entire body of work and life’s work.
Peter Gülke weaves a mosaic of portraits of musical works, memories of significant musicians and companions, accounts of personal experiences from the Nazi era and the war, as well as from his years in the GDR and later in the FRG, reflections on literature and the visual arts, and, not least, the human condition.
"That giving an account is part of a life lived conscientiously; writing has become, alongside making music, a fundamental pursuit." Peter Gülke
