Joining Strauss and Wagner at two pianos

Arthur Schnitzler

Arthur Schnitzler: Tagebuch 1879–1931 — digital edition (2021) · Dated diary entry 1931-03-08; TEI body paragraph 0

Träume, wieder einmal mit besondrer Deutlichkeit. In einem Saal;― auf zwei Clavieren spielen Richard Strauss und Richard Wagner (dieser unpraecis),― phantasiren eigentlich (etwa wie ich öfters mit Heini Mahler-Symph. improvisirt habe),― ich betheilige mich, auf einem der Claviere, mit einem Finger spielend, nicht immer richtig;― Heini ist da und sagt mir etwa: Du bist musikalisch, aber du spielst falsch;― ich höre auf;― dann spielt plötzlich Heini ― am gleichen Clavier wie Strauss, anders gestellt, so dass Str. eigentlich auf dem Deckel spielen müßte (was mir weiter nicht auffällt). Dann (ohne dass ich Applaus höre) dankt Strauss für den Beifall, der eigentlich Heini gilt und applaudirt selbst.
