Recordist's notes
The weather is beautiful. My inner Hinterhof always gives good protection from street noise but not from the planes above. But during the Covid-19 crisis flights are significantly reduced - there are still one or two - and traffic is also down. The background sound is appreciably quieter. On this occasion the Sunday church bells are ringing in the distance and someone's radio is playing through a window open to the good weather and fresher than normal air.
