Bøger af Peter Wolf

In his Sonata, Peter Wolf puts his style well-known from the character pieces of his previous piano series (Wolf-temperiertes Klavier, Jazz preludes) in the service of a demanding form. We can recognize the style that can be traced back to jazz and Bartok, the characters that tap like a toccata or swirl like perpetual motion, the singing lyrical melodies or even such playful turns as the baroque musette-like episode of the slow movement. Like Wolf's previous piano works, this multi-faceted composition, which sets high standards in terms of instrumental technique, was inspired by the outstanding pianist Jozsef Balog and gives the impression of his individuality as a performer.

SAIGON PASSAGEHuy's Memoir This memoir recounts in extensive detail how Huy and his family overcame many challenges of survival to himself and his family in Viet Nam following the 'fall of Saigon' in April, 1975.In Part One, The narrative begins from his early years as a child in the aftermath of the end of the Viet Nam War, and continues through several failed escape attempts over his years as a teenager, including a long incarceration in a 're-education camp.' He finally managed to escape in 1989 at age 20. He is one of the 'boat people' refugees from the period beginning in 1975 and extending beyond 1989.At sea for many days, packed into the bottom of the carved out hull of a river boat with over 100 other refugees, he and his fellow refugees eventually find safe haven in one of the UN refugee camps which spanned from Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries in the region south of Viet Nam. They make it to Indonesia. Huy lived over seven years in the refugee camp. Like many others in that camp, he ended up having to return to Viet Nam in 1997, for reasons detailed in the narrative.He then spends about two years living again with his family in Saigon until he is notified that his application for admission to the USA has been approved.

He has gained his US citizenship. He has so far successfully accomplished the mission: to be 'free, ' to support himself, and to assist his family who remain in Saigon.Some ten years passed before he was able to see his family again.
