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.

Day 103 — Death to the idiots
13-November-1971 (Sat.)
After a long day of practicing in horn ensembles, I take in a movie—the movie that really moved me a short while ago—Death in Venice. Unfortunately, some of the audience were apparently making fun of it. No, I didn’t scream it out, but probably thought it—Death to the idiots.

Day 54 — Incredible Two's
25-September-1971 (Sat.)
What a
day!
Two incredible:
• concerts
• conductors
• orchestras
• symphonies
• horn sections
The day was mostly two amazing concerts by two incredible, internationally renowned orchestras—the Vienna Philharmonic, and the Chicago Symphony. From Dr. Karl Böhm to Sir Georg Solti, to Dvorak’s New World Symphony and Mahler’s Symphony No. 8, I was in heaven.
What a day!
What a city!
Vienna, the city of music.

Day 26 — Mahler’s 8th Symphony; Schönbrunn Palace
28-August-1971 (Sat.)
What a
day. A visit to the incredible Schönbrunn Palace and
gardens with Anjali, and an incredible performance of
Mahler’s 8th Symphony. Shivers…shivers…shivers up and
down my spine.
Practice on my new horn and sad to see Achille leave for Italy.
And a little rant on why the RIAA should change their policies and fees on licensing music for Internet-radio and podcasts.
