All went quite well yesterday. The Brahms is still a problem. Apparently some people can't stand Brahms. I don't think I mind it but it is difficult.

Tomorrow night Steven Osborne is playing at the Conservatorium. Looking forward to that a lot. It's terrific that people like S.O. come to play here. One day I'd love to hear someone like Lang Lang or Argerich. I think perhaps they don't know how much an Oz audience would appreciate them or maybe they think we would clap between movements.
