History can be told through anecdotal details, music history even more so, and here the two coincide. In 1959, the East German composer Friedrich Goldmann took part in a composition seminar given by Stockhausen at the Darmstadt Summer Courses. The mutual enthusiasm led Stockhausen to personally invite Goldmann to Darmstadt in 1961 and 1962. But the trips are prevented by the SED. An exchange of letters, a pen friendship, develops between the two, which is exemplary of the many bonds between East and West. Goldmann himself becomes an important teacher whose students, including Charlotte Seither, are legion and legend. This biography contains in its details the sadness of the division as well as the solution after the fall of the wall, the lines and the splinters.
