You are probably familiar with the situation: it is almost impossible to predict why a knot will finally burst, when a well-trodden path will come to an end. Not to mention how difficult it is sometimes to find "your thing". And anyway, life likes to take a few detours. After a good three decades and a number of renovations, Franz Liszt's brilliant Piano Concerto is finally finished. A politically questionable offer from nationalist rulers makes Béla Bartók dance in the direction of MultiKulti, of all things. And sometimes one door has to close before another can open. For Joseph Haydn it is not a question of age: Even in your mid-sixties you can still set out for new shores. Feel free to come with me!
