Bronze casting is a captivating process for creating sculptures of various types and sizes. As early as the 4th millennium BC, humanity used this form of metal casting and in the Bronze Age, it flourished. This is exactly what distinguishes Gerold Jäggle: bronze casting in the style of the Celts, because it was done near his hometown of Ertingen some 2500 years ago. This was just one of the many stories the artist shared that evening. Sometimes with a smile as an anecdote, sometimes in depth as a connoisseur of his craft, he discussed his working methods, his work, and his creative impulses and places of inspiration. Full of charm, he took the guests on the long journey of the exhibition "The Successful Cast". Larissa Richter, pianist and composer from Munich, studied his works in advance and surprised with a successful selection of piano pieces. With works by Bach Partita No. 1 and Prelude and Fugue in B-flat major, by Debussy "La fille aux cheveux de lin" and the composition of her composition teacher Wilfried Hiller "Taurus" from the Book of Stars, she set the exhibited works to music. Her own composition "Pray to the Music" formed the conclusion of the musical score, for which the audience thanked with enthusiastic applause.
