REFLECTIONS

Another translation.


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
