"Freedom"
-----
"Prepare for death, that is to say: prepare for freedom." Lucius Annaeus Seneca (1-65 AD) Johannes Brahms (1833-1897): Ein deutsches Requiem, op.45, as arranged for piano four hands by the composer from it: No. 2 For all flesh, it is like grass - Slow, march-like / Somewhat more moving / Allegro non troppo No. 4 How lovely are your dwellings - Moderately moving No. 6 For we have no lasting place here - Andante / Vivace / Allegro -- PAUSE -- The Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich suffered all his life from the politics of his homeland: He was afraid that his music would not please the autocrat Stalin and that he would end up in prison. However, his protest against oppression can be heard in his works. Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975): Waltz from the film score "Unity" op.95 (1954) Polka from Ballet Suite No.2 (1951) The Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) envisioned the entire continent as a comprehensive monarchy, a monarchia totius europae, as early as the beginning of the 14th century. A dream that was nothing more than a mental construct of the Florentine; and yet it was one of the first visions for a united Europe - which has remained a utopia to this day. Moritz Moszkowski (1854-1925): "Aus aller Herren Ländern" op. 23 (1879) Russia - Germany - Spain - Poland - Italy - Hungary
