"Dear X

It was a real pleasure just to sit and talk with you. I listened very carefullyto what you had to say about this compelling history, and I've since readthe script and found it -- in all the detail of which it descries thesemonumental events and in the compassionate portraits of all the principlecharacters -- both powerful and moving. I can't account for how at anygiven moment I feel the need to explore one life as opposed to another.But I do know that I can only do this work if I feel almost as if there's nochoice. That a subject coincides inexplicably with a very personal need anda very specific moment in time. In this case, as fascinated as I was by“___," it was the fascination of a grateful spectator who longed to see astory told rather than that of a participant. That's how I feel now in spiteof myself, and though I can't be sure this won't change, I couldn't dream ofencouraging you to keep it open on a mere possibility. I do hope thismakes sense Steven. I'm glad you're making the film. I wish you thestrength for it and I send both my very best wishes and my sinceregratitude to you for having considered me.”

The title comes from violinist August Wilhelmj's late 19th century arrangement of the piece for violin and piano. By transposing the key of the piece from its original D major to C major and transposing the melody down an octave, Wilhelm was able to play the piece in a particular fashion.

When the Europeans began trading with the Chinese, the balance of trade was heavily tilted towards the Chinese (as the Chinese Emperor felt that the barbarians could not sell the Chinese anything of value).
