It was something just fantastic, as if all that little Amadeus felt centuries ago and in quite a different place and on quite different occasions has penetrated into that little girl! I wish you could see that childish face, those beautiful eyes - they poured emotion, understanding, appreciation - my vocabulary is really too poor to describe it all! And the hands! Beautiful strong hands of a born virtuoso and feminine hands at that! A. Do you remember her name? S. Yes, I do. Her name's Akimi Kobajashi.

THE BEATLES - ROCK SUPERSTARS (the beginning is on p. 85) THE BEATLEMANIA During the sixties, it seemed that The Beatles were always in the news headlines. They made successful records and interesting films. Throughout the winter and into the spring of 1963, The Beatles continued their rise to fame in England by producing their own interpretations of popular tunes and also by playing classical American rock and roll on a variety of BBC radio programmes. In these months, fascination with The Beatles - at first confined to young British fans of popular music - exceeded the normal barri- Unit four
THE BEGINNING OF THE END When Epstein unexpectedly died in 1967, things began to go wrong for The Beatles' industry. The relationship between Lennon and McCartney became very difficult; they argued about music, they disliked each other's wives and they disagreed about who should be the new manager of their affairs. In the spring of 1970 The Beatles formally drifted apart. Lennon became a solo performer and then property speculator* in New York, buying and selling expensive apartments. McCartney formed a pop group called Wings with his wife Linda. George Harrison was rarely seen, but was known to be collecting money for charity. Ringo Starr began a surprisingly successful career as a film star. In 1980 Lennon was murdered by a demented fan outside the Dakota, a famous apartment building in New York City known for its celebrity tenants. The event provoked a global outpouring of grief. In the years that followed, the surviving Beatles continued to record and perform as solo artists. McCartney in particular remained musically active, both in the pop field, producing new albums every few years, and in the field of classical music - in 1991 he completed Liverpool Oratorio, in 1997 he supervised the recording of another symphonic work Standing Stone and in 1999 he released a new classical album, Working Classical. In 1997 McCartney was knighted by the Queen of England. The Beatles I, a collection of 27 of the group's number one hits, was released in 2000 and became one of the best-selling albums in music history. So what is The Beatles' role in the evolution of modern music? This is what, without any exaggeration, can be said: They effectively reinvented the meaning of rock and roll as a cultural form. The original songs, The Beatles wrote and recorded, dramatically expanded the musical range and expressive scope of the genre they had inherited. Their vocal harmonies and subtle arrangements, combined with specific rhythm, produced by Starr's drumming, created new standards of excellence and beauty in a genre previously considered just a new kind of amateurish music for youngsters.

In the autumn of that year, when they made a couple of appearances on British television, the evidence of their unprecedented popularity prompted British newspapermen to coin a new word for the phenomenon: Beatlemania. Between 1965 and 1967 the music of The Beatles rapidly changed and evolved, becoming more subtle, sophisticated, and varied. Their repertoire in these years ranged from the chamber pop ballad Yesterday and the enigmatic folk tune Norwegian Wood (both 1965) to the hard rock song Tomorrow Never Knows (1966).
