“Coming home this afternoon I find the library fully occupied by the Philharmonic directors. Notices of a meeting had been sent out by Schaad yesterday, but had not reached me. Programme for next season includes Beethoven’s Sinfonia Eroica (recently referred to by a newspaper as B’s ‘Erotica’) & also the Pastorale, & is so far good.”
