The article reports that Stefan Litwin came across Jean Paul through Schumann and his favorite author, to whom Schumann refers in several works as Schumann's polarity "Florestan" and "Eusebius" reflects not least that between the unworldly Walt and the pragmatic Vult.

The article focuses on the topic of "Zeit" (time) and "Zeitgestaltung" (temporal forms) in the works of Hans Zender and his contemporaries. According to the author "Zeitkunst", or modern twentieth century art, is one of three fundamental determinations of music, the second one being the determination of music as an executive art in need of practical and spiritual realization. Both forms of determination shares music with theater and performing arts, whereas the third one is connected to the art of composition. As for time, it has several layers and dimensions in relation to music which in turn are not so evident as the general character of music as contemporary art.
