Beschwert sich über die Ostdeutsche Rundschau (*).

The Boston Globe Nr. 31 berichtet auf S. 27 in der 8. Spalte von den besonderen Umständen bei der Aufführung der 9. Symphonie in Heidelberg [am 26.10.1903]:
"     Germany seems to be lending herself very strongly to the idea of either hidding the orchestra and director at a concert or darkening the hall. The experiment at Heidelberg, where curtains were hung about the orchestra, seems to have had a decided influence on men who had previously expressed themselves strongly against the plan, and even Richard Strauss, who had at first played Bruckner's ninth symphony on the stage, declared that in the future it should be led behind a curtain or in some way to make the players and conductor invisible to the audience."
