  • July 11, 2010 Who Knows?

    We have been so many places in the last few daze I don't even remember this.  It is from Dotterz camera and DH says that the building is Kyu Fukuokaken Koukaido Kihinkan.

    Concert in Downtown Fukuoka Akurosu Building

    Gee, this must have been a concert of the Kyushu University OB orchestra.  I have been to too many places in the last few days and cannot recall without consulting DH.  They were playing the works of some recently discovered composer who was a contemporary of Mahler.  Both of them were a bit lacking a few marbles, but Mahler was the better composer.  This fellow had too many undeveloped themes.  DH and I put our collective marbles together and came up with the composer's name, Hans Rott.  Herr Rott apparently was committed to an asylum after threating some fellow on a train with a gun because Brahms had filled the train with dynamite....  all right...... Poor fellow succumbed to tuberculosis at the tender age of 25.  I don't remember Dotter going with us, but this is from her camera, so she must have been there.
