TRANSLATION ATTEMPT
A lot of work today with the horn. It went very well.
Much better than the other day. I also played
a rehearsal
(probe) of
Don
Pasquale, in the
orchestra of the Schloss Schönbrunn Theater.
Orchestra was ok. The singing, very good.
Two (zweimal =
twice, not two)
Buster Keaton films at night. The same.
END TRANSLATION
Rehearsing
Don Pasquale.
I don’t
remember this, but apparently I’m playing horn in a
rehearsal of Donizetti’s comic opera,
Don
Pasquale, in the
orchestra for the theater at Schönbrunn Palace. That
must have been nice. I suppose if I were writing in
English, I would have said more about it. Was I
playing alongside Prof. Gabler just for a rehearsal?
Or was it a student orchestra?
