The <strong>four stories<\/strong> are all about the power of music: how it changes the world, conquers death, saves lives or brings people together. They tell about the soldier Jack Tueller, whose <strong>trumpet saves his life<\/strong> during World War II. Or by Carol who is sick with <strong>Alzheimer<\/strong>&#8216;s and has forgotten everything except for the beloved <strong>songs from her childhood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In the epic stories, <strong>music<\/strong> and <strong>literary elements<\/strong> combine to form a <strong>powerful duo<\/strong>: the power of words meets that of music (wordplay is not excluded)! This symbiosis enriches the text and invites deeper thought, reinforcing yet again that\u00a0 <strong>music is the language that everyone understands.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-155268\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Int-Header-pom-social-formate-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"633\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/05\/Int-Header-pom-social-formate-2.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/05\/Int-Header-pom-social-formate-2-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thomann.de\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/05\/Int-Header-pom-social-formate-2-768x424.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the next few weeks we will tell you powerful and <strong>touching stories<\/strong> about <strong>music<\/strong> <strong>and people<\/strong>.
