In the creation of a cultivated and witty conviviality, the Duchess was assisted by poet and philosopher Christoph Martin Wieland, who had joined the court as the teacher of the two princes in 1772.
The "courtyard of the muses" would meet at the ducal "Wittumspalais", the rural summer residences in "Ettersburg Palace and Park" and "Tiefurt Manor", debate and discuss books and literature, the latest musical events and plays that had been staged, and contribute to the production of journals and paperbacks in Weimar, Tiefurt and Jena.
Not until the late 20th century had this idea of a Weimar courtyard of the muses been contested and dismissed as pseudoscientific 19th century legend formation and romanticism.
Contemporary sources of the Classical Weimar court never referred to a courtyard of the muses and Duchess Anna Amalia is not known to have at any time discontinued standard court ceremony or contested common class regulations.
Her role as pioneer of Weimar Classicism has been challenged by author J. Berger, as he points out that the duchess has given the primacy of the arts not to literature but to music.
Berger also exhorts, that she does not qualify as a true patroness of the arts because she refused unconditional promotion of free artists, but treated them as civil servants who were obliged to perform certain tasks.
However, according to author J. H. Ulbricht, all these scientific disenchantments have failed to notably penetrate the communicative and cultural memory of the public.
The narrative of the "historiographically colorful idyll" of Classical Weimar begins with Anna Amalias death and continues to be told until 1993.
Already in 1807, shortly after her burial, Goethe sought the opportunity to advertize Weimar's cultural prowess via the Duchess' obituary, that he published in a series of journals.
The second volume of a 1908 trilogy on the life of Anna Amalia is titled: "Duchess Amalies Courtyard of the Muses" and has been published repeatedly under this name.
In 1844 the academic historian Wilhelm Wachsmuth published a "historical sketch" in which the term "courtyard of the muses" was used for the first time in a scholarly context, steadily spread for decades and solidified into a formula.
Eventually, in a 1993 typology attempt the term "courtyard of the muses" was determined as one of five types of European courts and Weimar was referred to as the "courtyard of the muses par excellence".

Humble Pi
Humble Pi is a collaborative studio album by Homeboy Sandman & Edan.
It was released on Stones Throw Records on October 26, 2018.
Music videos were created for "Grim Seasons", "#Neverusetheinternetagain", and "The Gut".
Paul Simpson of AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, commenting that "Edan's fetish for echo and obscure acid rock records is as evident as ever through his mind-bending productions, and Sandman's effortlessly complex lyrics are typically biting as well as insightful."
Dean Van Nguyen of "Pitchfork" gave the album a 6.8 out of 10, writing, ""Humble Pi" might be thin, but there's enough here to spark hope that this is the origin point of Sandman and Edan's cracked journey, and not the final destination."
Nate Patrin of "Bandcamp Daily" described it as "a short but vivid worldbuilding record, the remnants of old places and past lives still standing in defiance of hyperdevelopment."
"Grim Seasons" was placed at number 2 on "Stereogum"s "5 Best Songs of the Week" list on August 3, 2018.
