Michael Schenk:      "The breath is an unvisible thread between myself and the
                             world"

This is the basic idea of this composition mentioned above. So do the pictures grow out of the musical pattern. The sonotion an expressionof the music find their equivalence in the picturesque speech of the form. So you remember your own feeling again.

Reinhild Tetzlaff:      "This is a book of remarkable history, of occasionally
                             alarming topicality. Here fuse artistic intelligence,
                             aesthetic strength, resonsebility and moral will in seldom
                             to felt coincidence."

In this way the book an artistic response on event of our time, the political changes in East Germany. The music reminds the listener; the metronom acts as a heartbeat and timekeeper. The speech of the form follows in reduction of its means emotional odds of the music.
