RE: Überfällige Vorstellung eines Schreiberlings
I'm inspired by your aspiration. I'm also a writer. I would like to create a play that is based around the Swiss National Anthem. Where the anthem has been replaced in Switzerland from German to Italian versions. I have personal love for the German version. My forefather Roman J. Sutter would compose the melody for the song Rufst du, mein Vaterland.
The inspiration came when in debate at the Bern train station. Which version do you like better? The conversation went of to offer one another skills in consideration to the fabrication that could offer a comical and historic tale. Not only comical, but sad. The truth of my forefathers is one filled with sadness. The focal point in the story revolves around a Lady Helvetica. The love that allows the Sutter to carry out his dream by restoring the idea of a family of ones own. Where at very least the debate can continue. And, perhaps one day the German anthem will replace the Italian. Please follow if you're interested in future collaboration interests in this project.
I honestly don't know much about the history of Switzerland - to me it's more important to mention what you don't know, much more than what you know - though the little history about their wars with the House of Habsburg and their remarkable democratic society left me with much respect.
My family and Switzerland are one in the same.
