Picture of the Day: Piano Playing German Ambassador to Korea
German Ambassador to Korea Michael Reiffenstuel plays a nocturne of Chopin at the 2023 Culture Communication Forum held at the French ambassador’s residence in Seoul on June 13, 2023, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Corea Image Communication Institute. (Yonhap)
So a German plays music written by a Pole on the piano owned by a Frenchman. To celebrate, check notes, Korea?
How very Eurocentric of him.
Mind you, I do listen to Chopin; but it kinda reminds me of June 1940…
I hope the Germans were a bit easier on their neighbors this time. What they did to Poland and France was what Russia is doing to Ukraine and what China wants to do to Taiwan.
Is there a video at the link?
Germany has been tricked into rejecting cheap energy, downsizing their industry, reducing their food independence, destroying their ordered society through immigration, and even denying Leopard 2 tanks are “German” due to their abysmal performance in Ukraine.
A piano playing the ambassador is not really a surprise.
Everybody else is playing Germany and Germans.
