Dog excrement, ballet criticism and the question of which dog suits humans – society

Today we’ll start with positive things. Martha Argerich still plays the piano ravishingly, Berlin generally managed to repeat the election, and the concertante “Siegfried” with Simon Rattle conducting the BR Symphony Orchestra was great, even if some critics saw it differently. In addition, the dachshund, speaking of critics, has gained new honors. The culture scene has never spoken so extensively about the dachshund and dachshund things as these days. That reminds me of the late Frank Schirrmacher, who has also been dead for nine years. Schirrmacher’s wife had a dachshund whose name was Elsa (do you actually have to name a dachshund?). The FAZ editor had a tender dislike for the animal, although real Schirrmacher connoisseurs say he loved the dog. That may be the case, especially since love and dislike are much closer together than it sometimes appears.
