Good question on Der Freischütz. There wasn't even a German nation at the time of his composition, so I think German can mean language, and perhaps music, only, not politics. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:20, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Did you know that I wrote Erich Barke? Looking at your user page, you may be able to improve/correct. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:23, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your kind welcome.
No, I did not know that there is a page Erich Barke and that you contributed much more than just a translation. I have nothing to improve, though at times, I participated in university politics. Realizing, however, that I lacked the ability to wisely compromise, I left the field to better qualified colleages keeping in high esteem the people in charge. Whether Barke should have resisted from the outset the attempted integration NTH rather than to wait 6 years for its end is such a question which I was glad not to be concerned with in a responsible position.--Norbert Dragon (talk) 22:54, 3 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, understand! - Did you know that we may share that early musical impression by the Mozart/Smetana combination my mother also bought? (... for me after recorder lessons, and with first piano lessons.) - I wonder what else ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 4 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
