Day 80 — Musique concrète sounds good
21-October-1971 (Thur.)
It’s a full day. Most exciting is the start of my “electronic music” class and lab. I learn later that this class is rooted in “musique concrète.” No, we’re not making cement booties for the mafia’s hit list. We’re making music with sound. Very modern. Very avant-garde.

Day 078: Three days, three world-class horn players
Day 78 — Three days, three world-class horn players
19-October-1971 (Tues.)
I've said it many times. Vienna is the city of music. In just three consecutive days, I see two solo horn concerts and an orchestra concert for a grand total of hearing three world-class horn players. AND I meet all three backstage, speak with them, obtain autographs, and try to assimilate their horn-playing skills into my body. I'm not certain if that last part worked, and so I take it upon myself to speak with them on a first-name basis.
That would be Herman, Barry, and Alan.
