"Alle Menschen werden Brüder"
Joy (in Beethoven's sense) to the World in 2019!
Joy, bright spark of divinity,
Daughter of Elysium,
Fire-inspired we tread
Within thy sanctuary.
Thy magic power re-unites
All that custom has divided,
All men become brothers,
Under the sway of thy gentle wings.

This music crept by me ...
"This music crept by me upon the waters" (The Tempest, by Shakespeare); or, rather, I ignorantly passed over the Schumann Fantasia for many decades before recently coming to love it. I heard this recording of Richter at Abbey Road Studios in online quality and decided I must have a real CD copy: even if I had to get it from Japan! I would happily have this CD as my grave goods.
The CD also includes The Tempest Sonata by Beethoven. In another life I played that Sonata to a panel of senior professors at the RAM in London. They are all dead now, so it is too late for me to apologise.

Praeludium
Chronicle Of Vital Individual Distancing, day 88. The final day of the series and the prelude to the future!
Run softly till I end my song
Says Mr Eliot
For I speak not loud or long
Costing not less than
open mind, open heart, open soul,
"And now a performance of the Prelude
from Cello Suite in D minor by J S Bach"
spirit whole
[Poem copyright J M Sheldon 2020]
[Words from T S Eliot’s The Wasteland and Little Gidding are All Rights Reserved.]
[Suggested performance of the Bach: Yo-Yo Ma on YouTube.]

UK is in lockdown too - Day 26
“Now, is it better like this – or like this – or like this?”
(Distance, VDU, reading.)
I am looking forward to the availability of zoom spectacles – except that they could make me look like Mad Eye Moody.
