| Comments | Beyond All Walking is based on a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke entitled "Goind Blind". The end of the poem from which the title came is: "She followed slowly, taking a long time,
as though there were some obstacle in the way;
and yet: as though, once it was overcome,
she would be beyond all walking, and would fly." -Rainer Maria Rilke
-Translated by Stephen Mitchell The piece makes a good concert opener and has been very successful in all of its performances. |
