More than a century before the Cold War, Alexis de Tocqueville expressed himself thus observing the two great powers that would be destined to mark post-modern history during the second half of the twentieth century. But music is another thing, it never stops. Even when war forces humanity into pain, it continues to proliferate, sometimes concealing messages that attempt to convince people to face history with the right attitude, as in the case of Bernstein’s Candide, a clear denunciation of the passive acceptance of events and the renunciation of the use of reason in the name of prejudice and superstition, sometimes clashing with violence against the historical-political circumstances that would cage the art in aQuinta sinfonia Lady Macbeth del distretto di Mcensk
