 The central section of the song features a lengthy piano solo by Andreas Schell; a new recruit to the band.Despite appearing on "Viva" far less than Harald Konietzko, Schell seems to have been adopted as the band's fourth member, appearing in publicity shoots and many of the polariods that make up the "Viva" gatefold photo-montage.In 1979 the "maxi-single" version of "Rheinita" was released, attracting the attention of EMI, who made the group a 1 million mark offer, which they subsequently refused.
