In 1947 his adaptation of the nursery rhyme Do you know how many little stars there are appeared. His version is a slow foxtrot with a text by Toni Tanner. The song was published by Swing Musikverlag Erfurt . In the years that followed, Bruno Droste published instrumental titles, pop songs and edits by publishers. For example, he wrote arrangements for Harth Musik Verlag Leipzig-Berlin and for Lied der Zeit , Musikverlag, Berlin.

In 1965 he wrote an orchestral arrangement for the title "Moscow Nights" by Solovyov-Sedoi . The hoped-for conclusion of a contract with a German music publisher did not materialize. His orchestral arrangement has not been licensed.

Also Amiga released several songs from him. The “Prelude d'amour” (text: Gerd Mylow), recorded with the Leipzig Broadcasting Orchestra under the direction of Kurt Henkels , was Fred Frohberg's first recording in 1949 .

Heinz Schultze sang “Lüttje Deern” ( Helmut Kießling ) on record.

The Bruno Droste dance string orchestra made some recordings for Amiga; so, "For Manuela" ( Arnold Bormann ), with Klaus Groß.

Droste was very successful as a composer and musical director of his Bruno Droste dance string orchestra in Erfurt, but was still dissatisfied due to the restrictions imposed by the Soviet regime on artists. During a performance in East Berlin in September 1958, the repertoire led to a dispute with the control overseers. Because of this incident, Bruno Droste decided to go to the West after his appearance and registered there as a refugee in Berlin's American zone the next day.

Droste lived in Erfurt until 1958 and died in Brussels in 1969 .

In 1970 Doris Marion recorded his “Prelude d'amour” with her own English text “So is My Love for You” with the RIAS dance orchestra .

In 2012 the Stuttgart-based soprano Christine Reber & friends recorded the CD “Rediscovered” with 14 songs by Bruno Droste in German, French and English.

So in 2007 we recorded 'Toto'. There were 3 Italians, a Swede and 3 Americans. I especially liked the older tenor sax player who was 82 years old. … I asked Mr. Cassan to record another piece, this time for solo accordion, called 'Rummy' ”. … Thanks for the link in your article.
