The still shows a close-up of an event poster for the Berlin Piano School Dounias-Sindermann, advertising the opening concert of the 1955/56 winter semester. Announced is a program of concert piano music “from Bach to Stravinsky” for a Wednesday, the 14th, featuring several named students of various ages as well as works by Bach, Weber, Beethoven, Schumann, Mozart, and Lewkovitch. The poster documents the vibrant Berlin cultural life of 1955 in the western part of the city, which rapidly regained normalcy despite still-visible war damage. It exemplifies West Berlin’s function as a cultural “showcase of the West”: concert and educational offerings even at the private school level signaled bourgeois continuity and civil society recovery during the Cold War. The film captures such poster imagery multiple times in order to document the intellectual and cultural life of the western sectors.
