Description:
What remains? Peter Gülke summarizes the wealth of his life as a writer, musician, musicologist and politically minded contemporary in pointed observations. As a critical witness to an entire century, he takes the reader into the hustle and bustle of cultural and social developments, but also shares his experiences and insights in dealing with music, literature and art in his usual dense and linguistically virtuoso form. His unsparing account of his own ageing and the death of important people bears witness to the great sincerity that permeates his entire work and influence.
Peter Gülke creates a mosaic of musical work portraits, memories of important musicians and companions, descriptions of personal experiences from the Nazi era and the war as well as from the years in the GDR and later the FRG, thoughts on literature and the fine arts and, last but not least, the human condition.
"That accountability is part of a conscientiously lived life; writing has become an elementary occupation alongside making music." Peter Gülke
