Dear Yuja Wang

I was very happy to find your "The Vienna recital" which I bought on probably 16 may 2024 and which filled my mind throughout the 17th. When on 18 may 2024 (around noon or thereabout) I suddenly found this label

on my hand, I took it for granted that it was a spontaneous formation telling my thoughts about your music on this record. Could be it resembles the cover to your record as well. The phenomenon was repeated on the 19th and 21st of may and it seemed - and would still seem - a natural explanation to these apparently spontaneous expressions.

Later (on 29 june) I found the same label on some oranges in the shop - these had been called 'Senorita' some days earlier, as a normal label of fruit. Why were they suddenly called 'Götterfrucht'? Had this been a name on oranges before it occurred on my palm on 18 may? That is of course possible - and maybe it would not change much as far as my conception of your music were concerned - but unfortunately there seemed to occur some cases of bad news (potential cases of terror - news about iranian president Raisi, former chancellor Bierlein and other things) which seemed to relate to this 'Götterfrucht' in the days following 18 may - culminating in what could have been a certain possible imprint left on the EU election - and it would seem a little strange why these newspieces suddenly should have been interested in this fruit name, if that is what it was.

In short, the question is - if the label I found on 18 may 2024 were a true 'ex nihilo' formation - whether somebody subsequently had plagiarized it and pasted it onto oranges distributed in the district. There seems to exist an oriental fruit called 'kaki' which traditionally is called (in german language) just 'Götterfrucht' - but that is not a commercial name but apparently a conventional epithet ('Diospyros kaki') to the nature of the fruit.

The intention in my conception of this record is not involved in the possible terror such as reported in the news.

With thanks and best wishes -

PS I should perhaps not have listened to the record in Austria.
