...finished. New works are almost never quickly accepted-even Carmen flopped at first. Singers complained that they couldn't sing Wagner (some still do, and can't), and again and again the end of opera was proclaimed. To many, the most recent "end" came with Richard Strauss, who died in 1949. When Alban Berg's magnificent Wozzek was first performed in 1925, some people covered their ears in horror; today it is widely accepted as an almost mellow classic.

Franz Josef Strauss, the erratic ex-Defense Minister who is trying hard for a comeback, sneered that if the trials were to continue, "war criminals" on the Russian side should be tried too. But Chancellor Erhard and the Bundestag extended the statute. In a moving speech on the site of the Belsen concentration camp, President Heinrich Lübke recalled that many non-Jewish Germans were executed or imprisoned for opposing...
