...look of German symphonic life by using Mozart and Beethoven as the backbone of the repertory (instead of local celebrities like Anton Eberl and Karl Reissiger). Haydn and Handel were also often in his programs, along with such composers as Schubert, Liszt, Rossini, Schumann. And, of course, Mendelssohn. Moreover der Herr Direktor once and for all dispensed with the practice of inserting divertissements by harpists and the like between the movements of symphonies...

Before Perón could reply, a zealous aide shouted, "We'll have Perón for a hundred years!" Added el Líder himself: "You'll have Perón for five thousand years, for even though I disappear, my doctrine will continue...
