A granddaughter asks her elderly grandmother what kind of music she prefers.
Synopsis
A little quiver that unsettled me ...
A granddaughter asks her elderly grandmother what kind of music she prefers. Only after her grandmother died she discovers many notes answering this question having chosen a composition by Iris ter Schiphorst from Hamburg. She decides to adapt them for a radio essay, as for her it is especially fascinating how these diary entries are narrated - they change from unwavering flashing thoughts, revealing a lot of experience and completely disappear again in the next breath taken, a sometimes bossy prickliness and blackest cantankerousness, that is able to switch into a most tender, girly like tone - but then of course: the grandmother had no more reason to be courteous to anyone, what she says, she says, whatever comes into her head.
