Day 265 — Bernstein and Vienna Boys’ Choir in Mahler
3
23-April-1972 (Sonntag–Sun.)
What a
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?

An easy day. Still writing and translating German. I hope that I don’t do this for the rest of the year. It’s a lot of work.

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.

Was this a full day or what? An incredible day.

Day 254 — Schreiben Deutsch, zweimal
12-April-1972 (Mittwoch–Wed.)
I’m writing in German again. Damn. Actually, it was probably good for me at the time, though no one would read it and perhaps correct me. I attend a silent film festival dedicated to Buster Keaton. I remember these being very funny.

Day 253: Ich schreiben Deutsch, heute (badly)
Day 253 — Ich schreiben Deutsch, heute (badly)
11-April-1972 (Dienstag–Tue.)
Today, I write my journal totally in German. What was I thinking back then? Was German the national language or something? Or did Anjali write me saying that I might learn German better if I tried to write it? Regardless, I test my 36-year old knowledge of German and try to translate on the fly (riding back home on the train from a music convention). How did I do? Read More...
