COVER: Design by the orchestra. Photographs by Dagmar Gebers.
REMARK: The orchestra consists of printress, teacher, unemployed people,
pupils,
goldsmith, sociologists, geographer, poet, which all began to learn an
instrument,
namely the saxophone, not before the third decade of their lives.
They all learned it from Alfred Harth, who founded the orchestra with
them in 1980.
