„Any great work of art … revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world — the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air.“
— Leonard Bernstein American composer, conductor, author, music lecturer, and pianist 1918 - 1990
