The crux of the matter
"Let's let the secret be a secret, after all, it attracts us!"
Norbert Trawöger
"With Mozart, I always had the feeling that he had a gift for life. Beethoven less so, Bruckner not at all. He would shimmy along the edge of the table and was offended when the end of the table was reached."
Heidi Kastner
