When Anne-Sophie Mutter appeared under the lights in Taipei to play John Williams, the audience was already aging with her. March-like clarity, clean articulations, and ritual pacing reminded us that aging and long-term care are governed by “tempo” as much as by policy. In long-term care, narrative is a clinical substrate; stories keep the body attending to life. He never used the term “long-term care,” yet embodied its deepest ethic: dignity through participation. Williams wrote the music; Mutter made it bodily; the audience made it human.
