such A tasteful evening with classical music, that it is almost to the old-Fashioned, Yes Bräsige borders: moderately occupied room. A solo concert of 1803, a Symphony of 1804. Probably applause with each Juchzern, a tightly-bound bouquet of flowers for the soloists wool. Beethoven from early to late, so from the beginning to the end of the program – only the addition of, Seong-Jin Cho’s plays, comes from Mozart. If it would be allowed to personalize concerts, would you quote with a view to this evening in the Philharmonie, Georg Büchner, “he did everything, as the others did, but it was a terrible Emptiness in him.”
