Toen wij de eerste keer met Tycho op reis wilden - hij was toen 10 maanden - kwamen er alle mogelijke betuttelaars in de weer. L. kwam zelfs met haar psychiater aandragen, vol afgrijzen over het te kwetsen zieleheil en dat het kind er nog jaren later moeilijkheden van zou ondervinden. Op die tientallen die zich vol bezorgdheid keren tegen het meenemen van kinderen op reis, is er nooit één die problemen ziet in het achterlaten bij verzorgers of in een tehuis. Ik weet niet, misschien is dat bij elk kind weer anders, maar wat mij zelf betreft ondervind ik nu, na bijna dertig jaar, de herinnering aan het 4 weken verzorgd achtergelaten zijn in een Hervormd Weeshuis, als een niet verdwenen aantasting. Een week voordat mijn jongste broer werd geboren, op mijn zevende verjaardag, werden mijn andere broer en ik door een tante die werksterdiensten verrichtte in de familie naar het Hervormde Weeshuis gebracht in de Volkerakstraat. Ik herinner me van de eerste dag een man met lange witte baard, de directeur, manden met potten jam, kinderen joelend op de binnenplaats. De kinderen droegen een uniform in de stijl van de tekeningen van Jetses, in de boekjes van Ot en Sien, mode van ±40 jaar tevoren. De meisjes droegen lang haar tot op de schouders (kort was toen mode), de jongens waren kaal met een kuifje van voren.

  • An Arthur Berger
    AN ARTHUR BERGER New World Records 80360 RETROSPECTIVE with GILBERT KALISH, piano JOEL KROSNICK, cello CHRISTOPHER OLDFATHER, piano JOEL SMIRNOFF, violin DAVID STAROBIN, guitar Members of the Boehm Quintette Arthur Berger is a stalwart of the American concert tradition. No popularizer, he has for some fifty years been producing sturdily crafted pieces that spring from the mixed lineage of Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and Copland. Yet the style is all his own. At times it readily appeals. Always it challenges. Born in 1912 and raised in the Bronx, Berger first studied at City College and New York University, later at the Longy School of Music and at Harvard. He completed his formal education with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. From 1939 to 1943 he taught at Mills College and Brooklyn College, then began writing music criticism for the New York Sun and, principally, the New York Herald-Tribune. In 1953 Berger joined the faculty of Brandeis University; he has also taught at Harvard and the Juilliard School, and is currently on the faculty of the New England Conservatory. Like many of his composer contemporaries, Berger has been an important and prolific writer. In addition to his stints as a journalist, he founded two quite different periodicals, each an outgrowth of the notion of a "little magazine" directed to a special public. The first, The Musical Mercury, was started in 1934 by Berger and Bernard Herrmann--the man later famous as a Hollywood film composer. Although The Musical Mercury included some articles about new works, it mostly explored European compositions of the past. The journal with which Berger is most closely identified, however, is Perspectives of New Music, begun with Benjamin Boretz in 1962.
