Drummer and percussionist Oliver Strauch from Saarbrücken and "word musician" Hans Mittermüller, one of Germany`s most renowned actors/narrators, discovered their love to an old elegic and dramatic text of the Belle Epoque: Rainer Maria Rilke`s "Cornet". Closely to the words both improvise to this highly musical piece of prose: the tragic story of the young standard-bearer of the first Austrian-Turkish War (1663-64), the famous Rilke-like "wordscape" melting music, words and sound, poetry and prose.
