Musizieren und Glück. Perspektiven der Musikpädagogik

Neither music nor happiness can be put into words. Both terms elude a precise description. This is not least due to its semantic scope, which is also and above all rooted in emotional depth and subjectivity. When we talk about making music or happy moments, it's usually about unavailable moments. As attractive and desirable as they are, they remain inexplicable and unplannable. And yet there seem to be attitudes, attitudes and interpretations that prepare the ground for happiness.
