REFLECTIONS


TRANSLATION

1/2 good day.

No electronic music. But quite (ziemlich) good horn playing.

I am now angry (böse = badly), because I went to the Bernstein concert too late.

So, I went to Mozart’s Idemeo. Not bad. A serious (ernst) opera.

END TRANSLATION


Missed Bernstein. There was another Bernstein Mahler concert today. I went late and couldn’t get in to standing room. Certainly, I was probably upset.

More Mozart. Instead, I go to a Mozart opera. I am not that familiar with the opera, Idemeo.

Mahler and Mozart—both good.

John
