“Colors For A Large Wall“ (1951)
__________
talking about walls, isn’t it only a few
years ago we were tearing one down
here is Roger Waters and several
other outstanding guest artists, in
very Berlin, July 21, 1990, celebrating
its demise
a little earlier, C***mas, 1989, only
moments after East Germans had
been allowed to visit West Germany,
essentially giving way to the
dissolution of the barrier, Leonard
Bernstein conducted Beethoven’s
Ninth Symphony, changing the
word “joy” from the title of Schiller’s
poem, appropriated by Beethoven
for his great fourth choral movement,
to “freedom”, giving new meaning,
and new life, and new inspiration,
to Beethoven’s always resounding
nevertheless masterpiece
how soon we’ve forgotten
