Στην πρωτοχρονιάτικη συναυλία της η Φιλαρμονική της Βιέννης παίζει τις Ιστορίες από το δάσος της Βιέννης. Έρχεται η ώρα για το σόλο: ο κυριούλης που παίζει το τσίτερ (zither) σηκώνει το κεφάλι και χαμογελά στον Μπαρενμπόιμ. Ο μαέστρος τον παρακολουθεί επιδοκιμαστικά. Πανέμορφη, τρυφερή στιγμή.

Στη Wikipedia:
The word "citara" is derived from the Greek word kithara, an instrument from classical times used in Ancient Greece and later throughout the Roman Empire and in the Arab world (Arabic قيثارة); the word "guitar" derives from "qithara" as well.
The terms "cithare", "sitar", or "cithar" are also used more broadly, to describe the entire family of stringed instruments in which the strings do not extend beyond the sounding box, [...]
The term zither is mentioned in Daniel during the Jewish exile of 606 BC; however, the earliest known instrument of the zither family is a Chinese guqin [a fretless instrument], found in the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng dating from 433 BC.[4]
The instrument has a prominent solo in one of Johann Strauss II's most famous waltzes, "Tales from the Vienna Woods" (sometimes played on a mandolin, when a zither is not available). In Slovenia, at the end of the 19th century, they were used in small towns or villages and for concerts.
