with Leonard Bernstein performing Mahler’s 3rd
Symphony. Wow. Today, was the day I took pictures

Day 255: Ein wunderbar Tage
Day 255 — Ein wunderbar Tage
13-April-1972 (Donnerstag–Thur.)
An
incredibly full day—horn lesson, piano practice,
electronic music composition and lecture, Leonard
Bernstein rehearsing the Vienna Philharmonic, another
Bach Heiler concert, and watching Buster Keaton
silent films. I’m still writing in German. The big
news—Leonard Bernstein is in town conducting the
Vienna Philharmonic in a Mahler series. This is big.
Photos from the 1972 Mahler Symphony
No. 5, concert
video, today.
Was this a full day or what? An incredible day.
