The Late Quartet
the sidewalk and a long line of cars parked along the curb.
Beethoven’s last quartet has been played, and Life, as before,
is lost. The heart broken by strings, and hand by bow.
Opus 131 — the seven disturbing parts
played as one movement — life has no time for a pause —
the instruments grow tired, their tuning is lost,
but the Quartet was played, the last note died, became a ghost.
Music defies Life, defies her predictable rhythms,
and stands tragic, triumphing over itself.
The “Grosse Fuge” is the end of sound. The air is smitten.
The hall is small, Life is small for the music to fit.
The “Last Quartet” and “Grosse Fuge” are the Cross — a death-defying act,
the demonic throw of notes into the deaf-dead-dark.

Это с него началось - и потом с Ops. 133 и 131.
Решился выставить, но наверное еще сыро.
Еще раз спасибо.
