Day 039: Der Freischutz—my first opera in Vienna
Day 39
— Der Freischutz—my first opera in Vienna
10-September-1971 (Fri.)
I'm in heaven.
I get to see my first opera in Vienna, Der Freischutz, performed at the Volksoper. I’m really enjoying the opera, the horn playing, and the musical life in Vienna.
Did you know that the Viennese had their own brand of “French Horn”—the Viennese horn?
Did you know that the early Vienna F-natural horn had no valves? Just like the "Ricola" alpen-horn guys on the commercial. Try playing a Mozart horn concerto on your Boomwhacker™.
[The Boomwhacker™ is a plastic tube, used in elementary music education, that you whirl around your head to create musical pitches. The tubes come in different sizes, each tube length produces a single note. I was making a funny. A joke. Ok, it's not funny. It's clever.]
