<#AndrásShiff> I can name some very important examples of artists who have spoken out in politics and it did make a difference. So my examples are #Beethoven, who crossed out the dedication of the Third Symphony to #Napoleon. And my great countryman Béla Bartók, who left #fascist #Hungary in 1940 because he said he couldn’t live and work under such an atmosphere. Or #Toscanini, similar reasons, having left Fascist #Italy. </> https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/arts/music/andras-schiff-piano-viktor-orban-hungary.html?unlocked_article_code=1.cVA.YNPQ.T-ZZyHUejS3u&smid=url-share
