Description:
1. Bus stop for Panzerwiese …when you take the bus out of town, you’re surrounded by nature in just five minutes. This meadow is home to a variety of rare plants and an adjacent forest. It’s simply a joy to be there—far away from the city noise and polluted air … 2. Back Then in Milbertshofen When I moved to Milbertshofen 55 years ago, you could still walk across fields almost all the way to Schwabing. This sentence is both a reminiscence of that time and a longing for the past. Today, the area is entirely built up with apartment buildings … 3. The Chase After the Big Dog Back on the Panzerwiese: One morning at dawn, in thick fog, a huge, Doberman-like dog suddenly stood before me. I was startled—and so was he. I stared at him, and he "stared" back at me… Then I smiled at him, and I think he "smiled" back. That’s how we became friends. He urged me to play with him and chase him … Note: This is likely the only composition in the world of classical music featuring this instrumentation.
