“Philharmonic directors met here, & smoked, 5 ½ p.m. Agreed to abandon the 9th symphony for this year. There is not time for thorough choral rehearsals. Moreover its announcement at the beginning of next season might increase our subscriptions, whereas its production at the end of this month would profit us nothing.”
