day, again! A long post for a great day. The Vienna
Boys’ Choir, first in church, and then in concert
with Leonard Bernstein performing Mahler’s 3rd
Symphony. Wow. Today, was the day I took pictures
inside the Musikverein. Then an opera at night. Is
Vienna, the City of Music or what?

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 51 — Standing room at the Staatsoper, friendly
letters
22-September-1971 (Wed.)
I’m going
for the composition exam. I hope that I don’t screw
it up. Letters from friends are coming in and that’s
taking my mind off of the pressure of entrance exams.
Letter writing and reading is fun, especially from friends. It’s a lost art though, replaced by email, social networks, and instant messaging.
I don't get to dine with the King and Queen of Belgium, but I learn the ropes of "standing room" at the Vienna State Opera.
