A Mixture of Memories And Dreams

Franz Rothe

A smart schoolmate invited each of our final class members to write about themselves. Using some short essays I enjoyed writing, I had gathered some material for such a booklet. Further sources are my music for flute and piano I have recorded together with pianist Thomas Turner, my completing of the flute sonata BWV 1032 of J.S. Bach, and fantasies about Plato, Mozart and Kafka. 
The description of professional growth, and the music playing which I have practiced with endurance during my entire life can motivate and benefit a broader audience.
