So we think we've now correctly reconstructed this morning's (surprisingly typical) conversation:
Samuel: That was a piece by Cesar Franck.
Emma: Is that the Caesar guy?
Peter: No, you are thinking of Julius Caesar. He declared himself Emperor of Rome.
Emma: 'Cause he was drunk?

School at home
School has been closed for a while now. Oma and Möne (Marion) and Grandma are helping the kids (mostly Sammy) getting their work done. Opa is teaching woodworking (using a christmas present from aunts Regina and Margrid). Bini (Sabine) is taking care of patients. (Achim, too, but I don't have a photo.) THANK YOU all, DANKE !!! Also, Isolde has woken up from hibernation!

Foto von Barbara, VIELEN DANK!
This ↗︎ was yesterday. Emma has discovered binge reading.
Today, Sammy is a very grumpy teenager and just said: "Are people trying to be mean to me by being happy?"

Videos for the Staatstheater Projekt
The kids have been working on their requiem project for the opera house here in Darmstadt. Sam is part of group of some students composing for the opera orchestra and chorus while Emma is part of a small choreography team. We're not sure if it will actually be happening in May with so much uncertainty still around public events but the opera house is hoping to still go forward with it and is asking all of the students working on it to make small videos about their work since meetings are obviously canceled for the time being.
So this is a video of Sam explaining (in German) how he is working on mashing up Verdi, Berlioz and Mozart:
And here is Emma talking about and demonstrating her choreography work:
And here is one of Sam's piano improvisations:
