REFLECTIONS

More German.


ATTEMPTED TRANSLATION

Only more electronic music. Went well.

Problem with playing the horn.

At the Staatsoper, saw Tannhäuser. Mostly not as good as usual—singing was not as good.
END TRANSLATION


Tannhaüser. I can’t believe that Tannhäuser at the Staatsoper was not good. Certainly, it was probably very good. Maybe a few signing mistakes, or I was tired, or didn’t get into the opera, or I didn’t know how to choose the right German word.
