"Younger people in the West," she writes, "have no faith in anything and are blind to what has happened elsewhere." Their "blindness, indifference, and idiotic egoism," she predicts, will lead to "armed bands ready to obey any command their leaders give them: to shoot at windows, people, the human soul itself, to crush the thinking human skull in a Chinese helmet of stone, to break the wrists of pianists." This is a prophecy we can no longer afford to ignore.
Why pianists?
