about

Somewhere in the Oberpfalz, in Bavaria, there is a not quite fully grown Steinway grand piano, a Boston, and you can still go there.
I still can go there. Then you have to wait. Until everyone is gone.
So that there is peace and the little madness can spread. Sometimes the birds sing along through the open patio doors, sometimes there is a cold foot. It would be really bad if the former father-in-law knew that you sometimes put a pencil or eraser (or...) on the strings. It's quite possible that someone will come and want a little breakfast . . .
But someone came and said let's study piano . . . let’s make some piano studies.
Well, you know each other and you can trust each other, you can also say yes sometimes. Michael Lange never knew what he was getting and I never knew what he would make of it. Then of course he put up some pressure to make progress and now it is what it is.
Autumn.

Irgendwo in der Oberpfalz, in Bayern, steht ein nicht ganz ausgewachsener Steinway Flügel, ein Boston und man darf da noch hin. Dann muss man warten. Bis alle weg sind. Damit Ruhe ist, und der kleine Wahnsinn um sich greifen kann. Mal singen die Vögel durch die offene Terrassentür, mal gibt es einen kalten Fuß. Ganz schlecht wäre, wenn der einstige Schwiegervater wüsste, dass man auch mal einen Bleistift oder Radiergummi (oder . . . ) auf die Saiten legt. Kann schon mal sein, dass dann jemand kommt und ein Frühstückchen will . . . Aber dass da jemand kommt und sagt lass mal Piano Studien machen . . .
Gut, man kennt sich und da kann man einander vertrauen, da kann man auch mal ja sagen. Der Michael Lange wusste nie, was er bekommt und ich wusste nie, was er daraus macht. Dann hat er natürlich noch etwas Druck aufgebaut, damit da mal etwas vorwärtsgeht und jetzt ist es halt, wie es ist.
Herbst.

Alles basiert auf den Aufnahmen und was und wie viel verwendet wurde, entschied der Bricoleur.
