Von Mao zu Bach. Wie ich die Kulturrevolution überlebte

The memoir highlights music as a source of hope during unimaginable hardship. I'm curious how the author views its role in healing and survival.

The detailed descriptions of Bach’s Goldberg Variations felt so powerful — did others find themselves reflecting on their own sources of comfort in tough times?

The vividness made it feel very real, and I wonder how much was drawn from personal memory versus historical research.
