Services
In 1978 Rudolf Scholz published his first novel, At that time in Belvedere . His literary work always focuses on people who have been shaped by music. For Rudolf Scholz, music is the tension between his experiences, “refuge and inner center”. He designed the master story Tokkata in Twilight from a fugue by Johann Sebastian Bach . In his Silesian novel The Swallows of Childhood , he tells from the perspective of a boy about the escape and expulsion from his native village and the time span when Germans and Poles lived there together.
Rudolf Scholz was a literary and television critic for the Sächsische Zeitung .
