Home Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Funny story I was reading last night

It was in the book, "Conversations with Klemperer", by Peter Heyworth (1985). Klemperer was talking about Richard Strauss, who, evidently, toured South America with the Vienna Philharmonic. (The time period seems to be in the 1920's.) Anyway, the concerts featured a Bruckner symphony (he doesn't say which one), and afterwards, at a gala hosted by the South American committee which had put on the concert, Strauss was asked to speak. He started talking about the Bruckner symphony they had played, and declared, "That's the way our peasants compose!" ;-)

Hope your holidays are happy too!
