Re: a story about rat and musician of a german town
I am interested in mouse and rat stories for several years. The story is known as "The musician from Hameln" and has some interesting variants. Why are You interested in it? I could help a little.

The Rat and The Music
The man was so much a musician it was disgusting to hear him play so he lived with the farthest of back creatures hoping to find his way back in.

Re: The Rat and The Music
No, zinemaker, it was believed that the mice's cries are the voices of the dead people. And there was also an ancient practice of killing one rat/mouse in as cruel way as possible for the purpose of frighting it's "relatives" and make them leave the house.
