Eckehard kiesewetter ebern- peter rosenberg loves music, of course, and he loves ruckert, which he has proven for at least three years with the concept and the selection of pieces for the music days ebern. But the former concertmaster of the bamberg symphony orchestra loves even more. For example, his romanian hometown of cuj-napoca, from which he recruited the musicians for his "ruckert ensemble" recruited.

Number games

And he obviously loves the number games: two years ago they started with a quintet, and the following year they moved up to a sextet, and this time the concerts in september will feature a septet, an octet, and finally even a nonet. The 69-year-old speaks of "almost symphonic chamber music" and a "maximum step, the musicians of the national opera orchestra are then already represented in the town parish church in ebern in a small orchestra line-up.

Cracks in the walls
When cracks appeared a few years ago in the unterleiterbach morgue, which was built in 1970, they were repeatedly patched up. The renovation, however, turned out to be not exactly permanent.

There were discussions about a separate bell tower, about a toilet facility and about the sense and nonsense of having charnel houses in the different parts of the community. At the end of the process, the design of the current building was created – with the bells in the attic, as before. In the course of the construction period, including the furnishings, around 116,000 euros were spent on the mortuary "an attractive building at a reasonable cost", as mayor josef martin (CSU/VU) called it at the inauguration ceremony.
Father charles and pastor kornelius holmer were also present. "It is a special day for me to be able to help inaugurate a mortuary. In my home country, the new federal states, death was mostly pushed to the margins. But saying goodbye is essential for us to be able to grieve and come to terms with the death of a loved one, said pastor holmer. Together with father charles, he consecrated the building, which was accompanied by the music of the unterleiterbach brass band.

Rosenmontag is a fitting day to refer to a new publication for the wagner year, which will probably also be classified as one of the most curious at the end of the year – like the brochure "mutter brunnhilde" published in 1906 from dr. Moritz wirth, who seriously attempts to extract from the score of "gotterdammerung to prove that brunnhilde was pregnant and thus, among other things, a certain note figure as "milchdrusen- oder lusttriole" to be defined.

One has quite so much fun reading "mein wagner. In richard’s footsteps by alexander busche not (grebennikov verlag, 166 pp., 16,90 €).
