Die Stille vor Bach, Pere Portabella, 2007



The Stillness of the World Before Bach
Lars Gustafsson (b 1936-)

There must have been a world before 
the Trio Sonata in D, a world before the A minor Partita, 
but what kind of a world? 
A Europe of vast empty spaces, unresounding, 
everywhere unawakened instruments 
where the Musical Offering, the Well-tempered Clavier
never passed across the keys. 
Isolated churches 
where the soprano-line of the Passion 
never in helpless love twined round 
the gentler movements of the flute, 
broad soft landscapes 
where nothing breaks the stillness 
but old woodcutters’ axes, 
the healthy barking of strong dogs in winter 
and, like a bell, skates biting into fresh ice; 
the swallows whirring through summer air, 
the shell resounding at the child’s ear 
and nowhere Bach nowhere Bach 
the world in a skater’s silence before Bach.
