Schubert, Piano trio op. 100, D929, 2 mov. Eugene Istomin piano Isaac Stern violin Leonard Rose cello
"a few light taps upon the pane made him turn to the window. it had begun to snow again. he watched sleeply the flakes, silver and dark, falling obliquely against the lamplight. the time had come for him to set out on his journey westward. yes the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. it was falling on every part of the dark central plain , on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely curchyard on the hill. It lay thickly drifted on the croocked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon alll the living and the dead" Joyce - Dubliners - the dead
"un battere leggero sui vetri lo fece voltare verso la finestra. aveva ripreso a nevicare. assonnato guardava i fiocchi neri e argentei cadere obliqui contro il lampione. era venuto il momento di mettersi in viaggio verso ovest. i giornali dicevano il vero: c'era neve dovunque in Irlanda. Neve cadeva su ogni punto dell'oscura pianura centrale, sulle colline senza alberi; cadeva piano sulle paludi di Allen e, più a occidente, sulle fosche onde rabbiose dello Shannon. e anche là, sul cimitero deserto in cima alla collina. s'ammucchiava alta sulle croci contorte, sulle tombe, sulle punte del cancello e sui roveti spogli. e l'anima lenta gli svanì nel sonno mentre udiva la neve cadere lenta su tutto l'universo, lenta cadere come la discesa della loro ultima fine su tutti i vivi, su tutti i morti."

(John DonneO DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so, For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee, Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee doe goe, Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie. Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
The use of this 19th century romantic romanticized musical view of in part death was emotively apt for Kubrick's Barry Lyndon the movie since death (death of youthful dreams when earning a living confronts coming of age persons, duels, father son aggression thus death of a family, combat, typical of the period children dying, ...) permeates the entire movie.
Death is negative, horrifying; it makes living seem absurd and yet unimaginably precious in its fragility.I can't do mental backflips so I can think that death is anything but a horrible tragedy.I don't want to become food for worms, but Existence is quite devoid of sympathy for my terror; so it is. My conclusion is that I must treasure and cherish every moment, every breath, every good and beautiful thing I encounter. You think and like Schubert :).That's good.Thank you for this conversation.

(John DonneO
DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
