Playground

 

Dear friends of piano music,

I don't know about you, but I'm having a hard time thinking about anything other than Corona. It determines our entire life too much, is visible and dominant everywhere.

On the way to shopping I always pass this playground with the lonely bobby cars where my children used to play. Loneliness is one of the big corona issues. When will they see their friends again, when their grandparents?

A symbol of loneliness has become for me a woman who steps onto her balcony and plays the oboe every day at 6 p.m. She lives opposite an currently empty university building, next to her is an empty hotel, closed shops below her. She doesn't actually have an audience, but she plays every day - symbolically for the whole world.

Kind regards Kerstin
