Aesthetic News Bulletin
There seems to have been a conjecture that Schiller had written an alternate draft for the Ode "An die Freude" entitled "An die Freiheit". Most scholars now say that this was probably no more than a hoax perpetrated by a 19th-century political figure named Friedrich Ludwig Jahn. But legend or not, I feel this is a heaven-sent moment to sing "Freiheit" wherever the score indicates the word "Freude". If ever there was a historic time to take an academic risk in the name of human joy, this is it, and T am sure we have Beethoven's blessing.
Es lebe die Freiheit!
Leonard Bernstein
