Anna und Friedrich Böhler besuchen das Stift St. Florian. Angesichts der Kopie eines Scherenschnittes (IKO 43) im "Bruckner-Cabinett" fassen sie den Plan, diese durch ein Original aus ihrem Nachlass zu ersetzen, und tragen ins Fremdenbuch ein:
"Friedrich u. Anna Böhler am 19. August 1911 behalten einige Sylouiten Orgenale zu vererben." (*).
The Winnipeg Tribune Nr. 196 (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) bringt auf S. 10f eine Stellungnahme von Josef Stransky, in der u. a. die Aufführung der 5. Symphonie [am 14.12.1911] angekündigt wird:
" Josef Stransky, the new conductor of the New York Philharmonic Society denied positively and emphatically the report published in a New York paper that he got his appointment through financial influence.
"The story is false and malicious," he declaired. "I have reason to suspect that it was inspired by friends of Oscar Fried. [.. war Stranskys Konkurrent ... Empfehlung von Agentur Hermann Wolff in Berlin ...].
"With regard to salary, it is quite true that I shall get $15,000, just half what Mahler received, but then I am not Mahler and the New York Philharmonic Society, as far as I can gather, is in no wise so wealthy as to pay extraordinary sums as a regular custom.
"The details of the first concert ought hardly to be divulged at this stage, but the third concert will a sort of requiem for Mahler. We shall practice his last symphony.
"Other productions which I believe have hitherto been unknown to New York are Frederick Delius' symphonic poem, "In a Summer Garden," the poem "En Saga" by the Finnish composer Sibillns [sic], and Bruckner's Fifth Symphony." (**).
