Versöhnung1976
1867 J. A. Symonds Let. 22 Aug. (1967) I. 750 The truest Versöhnung in art I know is to be found in Beethoven's C Minor Symphony. There he first posits all the contradiction of passions, aspirations, and sorrows, then combines them..so transfiguring them that the termination is triumph; the victory and majesty of the soul are wrought out of its defeats and humiliations.
1976 G. Talbot Permission to Speak viii. 106 It was a jarring note in an evening of festive international versöhnung.
