Oooh, the immortal Goethe, the Shakespeare of Germany, as under-treasured as the German Illiad (The Nibelungenlied) - you got me with Goethe! And you up the ante with Schumann--also not loved enough, imo. Love this: I began to feel a longing for "the good ole days (when Steem was 8 dollars :)" LOL! Your lyrics are lovely in German as well as English. And I love your cat photo. How sad, even though she "didn't need to be put down, she is terminal" - I wish you many good hours together! To this day I miss our old ginger tom, gone since 2015, but immortalized in my heart. You also mention Brahms (an all-time favorite of mine) and Debussy. Love your taste in music and your ability to compose your own!
