    Excellent playing by your pianist colleague, too.
    I hope to see and hear more from you. All the best with this new chapter in your singing life!

    To Owen Notth :) Sure you are and you like the castrat voice. Cai had a great voice as a soprano. This voice will stay with him forever. Now it's time to follow nature. It's time to enrich your work with a new, beautiful tenor or baritone. We can already hear how beautiful, subtle, with a beautiful color, his new, wonderful voice is being shaped. This is a new value in his life. We are happy that we are discovering something new and wonderful in it. Cai, thank you for that. A great future awaits you. You complete yourself as a whole, because the boy's soprano will also stay with you and with us forever. We can always listen to you as a beautiful soprano and a beautiful baritone. Your charm stays with you too. Cai !!! Thank you for this beautiful new voice and for bringing new challenges to your creatiw muzic 💯👍🎶🎤😃💗🐯🐬☀ Good luck and best regards Piotr from Warsaw

      Es ist eigentlich kein deutsches Volkslied. Volkslieder haben grundsätzlich keinen Autoren, sondern sind überliefert. Dieses Lied hat eine eindeutige Autorenschaft: Franz Schubert. Was es vermeintlich zu einem Volkslied macht, ist die (später gekommene) Männerchorversion des Stückes, sodass im späten 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts jeder Männerchor dieses Werk dudelte und alle es kannten :) Das macht es aber nicht zu einem "alten deutschen Volkslied" - es bleibt ein Kunstlied.
