The musicians had expected a completely different musical language, at least not with what Staud delivered to them under the allusive title as an exhilarating result of the lockdown. But they responded with amusement and enthusiasm to this music that does not shy away from being cheerful and thus also providing pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breitkopf \u0026 Hartel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52292236312942,"sku":"9790004188675","price":65.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/files\/9790004188675.jpg?v=1753987252","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/staud-jm-now-for-something-different","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
