This is Cortot’s evocative depiction of the moment when the soldier, Pheidippides, arrives in Athens having ‘run his last race’—bearing the news as he expires that Greece has triumphed over the invading Persian army. Browning immortalised the story in verse.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
