Mit ausdrucksvoller Kussen?

Thanks very much!

Kussen? Kisses?? Could this be anything else?

Grammatically correct version:  Mit ausdrucksvollen Küssen = (literally) 'With expressive kisses'. A more idiomatic translation might be: 'With passionate kisses'.

I think the last word is probably Rhue  (calm?)

Ruhe = calmness or quietness, yes, and would make more sense.

I'm quite sure it's "Mit ausdrucksvoller Ruhe" as well. The small h is quite a bastard in this kind of writing, confusing me quite a bit some times! Also the last bit is a single "e" for sure.

Could well be. I'm assuming this is a marking in a score.

OK, I'll be the cheeky one: so whose writing is it, Martin?

It's easy to chime in once others have done the hard work of deciphering, but yes, I agree that it is "Mit ausdrucksvoller Ruhe".

Agreed.
