Dear Minister Bray,
I am following your work with interest and great hope, you know? It seems to me that the time has come to drive the merchants (and the plunderers) out of the temple of culture, finally restoring dignity to the true wealth of our country.
I was so distressed and indignant not to see any trace of these topics in past political programs; rather, to read how funds for orchestras and festivals, as well as musical educational institutions themselves, were being plundered without any restraint. You see, I am a musician, and I fervently hope that your gaze will soon fall upon the serious reorganization of my field, of my profession.
Because allow me to emphasize that when someone has spent half their life in conservatories, in orchestras, concerts, and music teaching, this is not called "passion" (and therefore without many rights), but WORK.
I would be tempted to tell you my story, with complaining tones and much self-pity, but I would be being false: I do not want to complain. I want to propose. I am doing it myself because I don't understand why, but over there with you, no one is doing it.
Etc.
