Poor Rostropovich, what a terrible way to remember him!
(one cello to tear down the wall and 100 to rebuild it)

You know, I am limited and, this is doubtless, but I really struggle terribly to understand the thinking of many of you.

What is so nefarious about this way of remembering the great cellist?

Let me understand, please!

...and this is already an error! "Turin will remember the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall" - that's how it's written, right? - . it means to remember a positive event. A moment of liberation! It is not a commemoration of something that is no longer there!.

I might have expressed myself poorly, but I meant that Rostropovich is not the "protagonist."

Concert in Turin for the 25th anniversary of the Berlin Wall at Regio Sollima and the 100 cellos to remember November 9, 1989

Forgive me again, but the concert is to remember the historical event of the fall of the Berlin Wall, not to remember Rostropovich who, regardless, believe me, if he could know that to celebrate the event he is also being remembered - since he was there and suffered greatly because of that pre-wall fall political climate - would be extremely happy! and therefore, Tiger, you are right, I had not understood your intervention, forgive me.

Don't worry about it, you know how many things I don't understand
