Richter Beethoven 7 Sonata Poem by Liza Sud

Under the sound of bells and the cars squeel
I'll run faster to meet you.
Under D major sonata rhythm,
As a trainee after the teacher.

And will stop halfway.
as a look at the water from height.
And from the bridge - a flashback,
Where you and I were already.

And I look into your eyes,
Where the mourning of turquoise.
But in the heart - such peace,
Like the eternal Petersburg's heat.

And in the gray heat there is no frost,
But the pure tear's drop.
Beethoven touches me so
as from the corner - a tornado whirl, -

Universe corner and there are pictures
as from my childhood and so humble,
Beethoven - my best friend - he is singing
to me above the earth pseudo-parting.

And we're running from the bridge down
Quicker than the fall of leaves in Autumn.
Over Prague - it is Richter playing
among the stars dream of Beethoven.


Richter's recording: Prague, November 1,1959.
