Ludwig van Beethoven - Violin Romance No. 1 in G Major, Op. 40

On 9 October 1989, 70,000 people staged a non-violent demonstration calling for more freedom and democracy in the GDR. Thanks to the claim “Peaceful Revolution”, initiated by Kurt Masur as one of six prominent citizens of Leipzig, everything proceeded peacefully. That evening, the Gewandhausorchester played under his baton Brahms’ Second Symphony at the St. Nicolas Church. The following regular "Monday Demonstrations", which came to be described as the “Peaceful Revolution”, became a major milestone on the way to open the Berlin Wall one month later on November the 9th in 1989 and paving the foundations for the reunification of the two German states.
1989年10月9日，有七萬人舉行非暴力示威，呼籲民主德國獲得更多自由民主。由於萊比錫六位傑出市民之一庫爾特·馬祖爾發起的「和平革命」倡議，一切得以和平進行。當晚，萊比錫布商大廈管弦樂團在聖尼古拉斯教堂演奏了布拉姆斯《第二號交響曲》。隨後定期舉行的“星期一示威”活動，後來被稱為“和平革命”，成為一個月後（1989年11月9日）柏林圍牆倒塌的重要里程碑，為兩德統一奠定了基礎。

Exactly 20 years later, the Gewandhausorchester and Kurt Masur commemorate the beginning of the German reunification by presenting the same symphony at the same location.
整整20年後，萊比錫布商大廈管弦樂團和庫爾特·馬祖爾在同一地點演奏了同一首交響曲，以此紀念兩德統一的開始。
