Cher Mr. Reichenbach, oui en effet je connais ce document. C'est mon papa avec son orchestre il y a plus de trente ans. Il sait toujours jouer aussi vite, et nous donnons parfois des concerts ensemble. Bien à vous, Patricia

Sehr geehrter Herr Walter, es freut mich, wenn Sie an den Konzerten Gefallen gefunden haben. Ich kann mich über mangelndes Interesse der Wiener Veranstalter überhaupt nicht beklagen, ich wurde in Wien von Anfang an gefördert und unterstützt und durfte viele Konzerte spielen. Auch für die nähere Zukunft ist ein Projekt in Arbeit, auf das ich mich sehr freue. So hoffe ich, Sie bald einmal in Wien begrüssen zu dürfen. Mit herzlichem Gruss Patricia K.

Hello LCD, hope you mean "rinsing" in a positive way. I like making music with Heinrich Schiff, he is a complete musician and not an administrator :)

Dear J

I am happy if you enjoyed the concert. In fact the New Japan Philharmonic and Christian Arming did a most competent and satisfying job with this extremely difficult score and therefore I was able to be relaxed and really enjoy the music.

To me Ligeti is one of the greatest composers ever, and his violin concerto is just the most wonderful of the many modern violin concertos in existence. Its also the most difficult. Playing (and probably also listening to) it is somewhat like climbing on the Mount Everest - thrilling, exhausting, but most inspiring and rewarding.

What I tried to do in this evening was just to transmit Ligetis divine inspiration and this is probably what you felt.

Of course to transmit something to a listener one needs to get his attention in the first place. Thats why one has to be entertaining and to avoid the boredom of repetition and didactic teaching.

So now you probably have what I am on stage.

I hope to return to Japan and maybe Osaka in the near future.

Sincerely

Pat
