In un teatro, in cui si sta provando una rappresentazione, irrompono sei "personaggi" che dotati di vita reale cercano un autore che gli permetta di realizzare e rappresentare il loro dramma.

Scandal, shock, and rivalry all have negative connotations, don't they? They can be catastrophic to businesses and individual careers. A whiff of scandal can turn a politician into a smoking ruin. But these potentially disastrous "negatives" can and have spurred the world of fine art to new heights. A look at the history of art tells us that rivalries have, in fact, not only benefited the course of art, from ancient times to the present, but have also helped shape our narrative of art, lending it a sense of drama that it might otherwise lack.

Con solo veintitrés años dio su primer concierto en Estados Unidos, ante un público sorprendido por su insólito aspecto: un mono amarillo chillón, una camiseta estampada de estrellas y un par de botas aladas. Elton John había llegado y el mundo de la música jamás volvería a ser el mismo.

El arte es el lenguaje universal. Esta certeza nos hace conscientes del rol del arte para conectarnos y hacer que sintonicemos, entre nosotros y con los demás, teniendo como puente la creatividad que ha acompañado a la historia de la humanidad. Es también una oportunidad para discusiones, encuentros y desencuentros. Para diálogos y enriquecimiento.

Meine Reihe "Nachdenken über Musik" ist innerhalb des letzten Jahres entstanden. Ohne Manussript überlasse ich mich dem Gedankenstrom über Komponisten und deren Werke. Es sind sehr persönliche Betrachtungen, die keinen Anspruch auf unbedingte Gültigkeit erheben; im Gegenteil, ich würde mich über regen Widerspruch freuen. Dass der Fokus auf der großen abendländischen Musik liegt, hat nichts mit Chauvinismus zu tun, sondern ist ein Eingeständnis: Nur in dieser Musik fühle ich mich vollkommen zu Hause, nur diese Musik geht mich etwas an.
