I chanced upon mention of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 again yesterday. It was the footage of cellist, Mstislav Rostropovich giving an impromptu performance of the Sarabande from Bach’s Cello Suite No. 2 outdoors at Checkpoint Charlie as the Berlin Wall was beginning to come down. His choice of Bach seems so fitting.
Here’s the video that was captured at this momentous event.
