Wagner Tannhaeuser Overture WWV 70
“Now they began to play. To my greatest surprise, it was a strong, full orchestra, outstandingly rehearsed, the tempi nearly all perfect, everything neat and well executed. – My God, how I was moved to hear – basically for the first time – something of mine being played without me, and without anyone really paying much attention to me. And now this very piece, the Tannhäuser Overture! I sat there plagued by an indescribable inner agitation - : unfortunately, I was being sharply observed by the public, which had taken note of this; yet I noticed nothing of all this, and burst into a river of beneficial tears. (...) At the close, the wild applause of the public that had no idea about what they had just witnessed – The conductor and the entire orchestra turned towards me and cheered and applauded so much that I had to stand and thank them...”
