The ?Teufelsbrücke? (devil?s bridge) is a very old bridge connecting the Göschenen and Andermatt valleys in the canton of Uri central Switzerland.

...some moments for Ludwig van...-Sweet echoes of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata in the introduction bring a gentle slumber. Breathing is calm and sleep holds the promise of rest and relaxation.With the onset of the REM sleep phase however in which most dreams take place and where the day’s events are worked through we hear other sounds played.With distorted sounds reminiscent of an old gramophone the music pulls the listener inevitably ever deeper into the dreamscape in a very realistic dangerous situation that comes to a dramatic head.
