Vera Šosberger

Abstract

Vera Šosberger je rođena pre sedamdeset tri godine - 16. maja 1927. Da su se okolnosti drugačije složile, ona bi danas zajedno s nama slavila svoj rođendan u gradu u kojem je kao dete izvodila na klaviru svoje prve interpretarcije, igrala prve baletske numere, jurila niz stepenice sa prvog sprata. Pred tom devojčicom bila je davnih tridesetih godina budućnost. U Sekciji žena Opštine njena majka je, zajedno sa drugim ženama, pripremala različite proslave i obeležavanje verskih praznika, isto kao što i danas rade žene u Sekciji žena Opštine. Sastali smo se njoj u spomen, ali bez nje. Kao što sada postoje nadarena deca kojima se posvećuje pažnja ovde, tako je to bila tradicija i pre 70 godina. Pokušajmo svi zajedno da odvijemo svitak Verinog života, kao sto se odvije svitak Tore za čitanje nekog teksta značajnog za istoriju jevrejskog naroda. Prilika je da jednu osobu, jednu izuzetnu pijanistkinju, koja nema premca u novosadskoj sredini, osetimo kao onu koja je sa nama zajedno, sa tradicijom koja joj prethodi i koja joj sledi: kulturna, pijanistička, porodična. Želimo njenu umetničku ličnost da uklopimo u naše sećanje kao jedan dragulj kultumog i umetničkog života ovoga grada u kojem njoj neke druge (pijanističke) ličnosti, prethode i za njom slede (deo uvodnog teksta „Veri Šosberger u spomen“).

Vera Schosberger was born May 16th, 1927. Had circumstances developed in a different way, these days she would have celebrated her 73rd birthday with us in a city in which she, as a child, played her first pieces of music on the piano, danced her first ballet steps, and rushed down the staircase from the first floor. It was the future ahead of that little girl back in thirties. In the Women's Section of the Jewish Community, her mother prepared various celebrations and holidays, just as women do these days in the Community. We have gathered in her memory, without her, though. Just as there are talented children who are being paid attention to over here; it was the same case 70 years ago as well. Let us try to unroll the scroll of Vera's life, just as a scroll of Torah is unrolled in order for a portion of a text important for the history of the Jewish nation to be read. This is an opportunity to feel as if an extraordinary piano player who had no equal in Novi Sad were with us, comprising the tradition previous to her and following her: the cultural one, the pianistic one, the familiar one. We would like to enclose her artistic personality into our memory like a jewel of this town's cultural and artistic life, where some other pianists preceded her or came after her (part of the introductory text „In Memory of Vera Schosberger“).
