Soilwork - Demon In Veins

In the era when our heroes lived, Prince Esterhazy was not the "head of the company", but an omnipotent tycoon; depending on him there were a huge number of people to whom he provided jobs and paid salaries. It is difficult to accuse him of complete indifference to Adam List: to endure in his service a person who is actually constantly absent and engaged exclusively in the education of his own son, far from everyone would agree, and the prince would meet him for the time being. The fact that Adam List had to wait sometimes for months to answer his petitions can be explained not so much by the indifference of the prince, but by the enormous size of his possessions and the number of people working for him; the prince simply could not deal exclusively with Liszt’s problems and respond at his first call. Yes, Adam Liszt’s son was born a genius,“The property of all mankind”, which at first glance imposed a special responsibility on everyone on whom the development of his talent depended. But genius can be truly appreciated only after a while, in the future. And in the present, before the prince was a man holding a very modest position, having a talented son, and only on the basis of this he constantly required an exceptional attitude to himself.
