TRANSLATION ATTEMPT
Mostly a good day.
With Prof. Kaufmann, we made (looked at) two parts of
the score for my composition. Naturally, it goes a
little verschidenen
??, because
to make a mix
(mischung =
mixture) is
difficult.
In the afternoon, I heard Leonard Bernstein’s Mahler
5 with the Vienna Philharmonic. Very nice. The
Adagietto
was the
best.
In the evening, a film. So-so.
END TRANSLATION
Mixing
it up. This is a
good day. It looks like I go over two parts of my
electronic score with Prof. Kaufmann, and it looks
like we discuss an audio “mix” of my
composition, Fantasy
on Broken Glass. In the
afternoon, I again go to a rehearsal to see Bernstein
conduct Mahler’s Symphony
No. 5. The
Adagietto
is a very
moving and memorable piece of music.
Yes, very nice.
John
