Day
314 — Horn quartet in church
11-Jun-1972
(Sonntag–Sun.)
TRANSCRIPT
Nice day.
Played with Herr Gabler and quartet in his
church—Schubert Deutsch
Messe (arranged for four
horns). Very nice. Went well. A nice church (Kirche
am Platz Heitzeg). A lot of little children, playing
afterwards. A look at the “real” Austria and not just
the tourist Austria. Nice surprise. Good. [They paid
160 schillings.]
Walked through Schönbrunn and went and practiced.
Afternoon: did a good amount of work on writing of
report.
REFLECTIONS
Schubert
in church. I played a
special horn-quartet arrangement of the
Schubert Deutsch
Messe in my horn
professor’s church today. It looks like they even
paid me. Once again, this is an example of how
dedicated, wonderful teachers provide extra-special
experiences to their students. Best of all, it
provided me with a little look at the real Austria
and not just the tourist side. Yes, kids are kids.
They like to play, everywhere in the world. Thanks
again, Prof. Gabler.
I am wondering if Prof. Gabler paid us out of his own
pocket because he knew we were students running short
of money? It wouldn’t surprise me at all.
Relaxation.
What a
nice way to relax—walk through the Schönbrunn Palace.
(See opening photo and below.) Then back to work on
my Fantasy
report.
