and above all the almost lin

Beethoven's letters, on the
other hand, seldom show any
sense of literary style or pre-
ciSion Of phrase. They are
not so much uncouth as
merely commonplace. We see
the composer badgering pub
fishers, flattering patrons,
and extolling his own nobil-

again. OF revealing and pro-
voking discussion Of men, art
or mores the letters are al
most devoid, and Of the strik-
ing Beethovenesque gesture Of
power and -sufficiency
they produce hardly one ex-
ample.
If the letters have little to
tell us of the nature Of Bee
thoven's music, they are filled
with illusions to the incep-
tions Of a large number OF
pieces and their early his
tories. A man who is at home
in the entire body Of Bee
thoven's music will find much
delight in the recognition Of
familiar faces. 1t is well
known that the first bar Of
the adagio of the Hammer
klavier Sonata was an after
thought, but it gives the read
er of Beethoven's letter to
Ries a genuine thrill to see
the two famous dotted quar-

imagined that they were not

Nam dimmed Korea, Sputnik out

vaccine, the Congo-we can barely
digest our breakfast news before
more is in front of us.
Add to this a tremendous social
mobility, the fact that hardly
anyone lives today in a socio-
economic group to which his
parents, or even himself was ac-
customed some years ago, and one
has dizzy world of great achieve
ments, great problems, and no
fixed place to belong.
The problem of loss of identi-
fication, or identity and of self
boundaries is a most important
one. Undoubtedly, the worldwide
phenomenon of juvenile delin-
quency is related to a lack of
integration of values and systems
in fast-changing world.
My feeling is that the whole ma
ture of "object relations" has been
changing and will increasingly
change in years to come. If this
seems hard to accept, consider
how different some of our object
relations are today from what
they were in the past. Romantic
love, humane treatment of crimi-
mails, the Geneva Convention con-
corning prisoners of war, and
outlawing of slavery are all quite
recent developments: People used
to enjoy hangings, public amputa-
tions and floggings. A great sense

sciousness and humanism are rel

1t is unlikely that we will simply
return to earlier forms of human
relations. 1t is likely that under
the impact of constant stimuli

and geographic mobility - the
Angry Young Men and the Beat
niks will be followed by a genera
tion that does not protest any,
more; it will not be angry because
it will not have the need for deep
permanent relations.
In other words, believe that
increasingly character structure
will develop which we used to
consider a character disorder: one
characterized by shallow, transi-
tory object relations with little
subjective feeling. One has seen
such characters develop out of
environments that did not permit
strong identifications, such as in
children reared in many different
foster homes and in orphanages.
This type of character has also
been seen in people exposed to
overwhelming experiences, such as
in former inhabitants of concentra-
ton camps. They may appear well
functioning enough, but for long
time after their terrible expert
ences hardly anything seems to go
more than skin deep; there is a
strong armor that wards off more
intense feelings. Oriental i'm

The European shares only a
small area of his life with others;
he lives behind closed doors and
behind fences, does not announce
his salary, sleeping habits. etc.
But the few people who he permits
with ease into the inner sanctum
become his best friends with whom
all is shared.
The American, in contrast, ad-
mits almost anybody to a variety
OF intimacy; first names, political
beliefs, divorces, salary, are all
out in the open. But hardly any,
one, if anyone at all, is permitted
to share the real inner sanctum.
He is adapted to easy sociability
in a superficial way Therefore
follows the sense of loneliness, the
lack of belongingness.
1t is my guess that the way the
world is developing technologically
will make the American type of
inner sanctum arrangement uni
versal, with an even smaller inner
circle, if there is one at all.
The exterior, however, may well
become more civilized, literally,
more urbane: Greater interaction
and interdependence alongside the
probably still higher standard of
living will probably make for
manifestly more amiable and
socially more responsible relations.
