Music or Theology?

"When Dietrich turned eight, he began piano lessons.  All the children had music lessons, but none showed such promise.  His ability to sight-read was remarkable.  He became so accomplished that he seriously thought of taking it up as a career.  At ten he was playing Mozart's sonatas...Although he eventually chose theology over music, music remained a deep passion throughout his life.  It became a vital part of his expression of faith, and he taught his students to appreciate it and make it a central aspect of their expressions of faith." - Metaxas, Bonhoeffer, p22-23

Like Luther and others, the connections between music and theology run deep for Bonhoeffer.  Of course, we see this centrally in the life of David and in the Greater David, Jesus.
