Opinion
Among the Brahms anecdotes which are now,
popular in Germany this contributed by
Frau Luise Pohl Brahms liked Baden Baden
and took much pleasure in winter visit to the
place in the crowded summer time The resi-
dents knew this when they invited him in 1876 to
come and direct OF his works After the
concert the friends of the master assembled
"CSoIdenen Kranz" by invitation of the Oher-
burgermeister Gamer to drink a glass OF wine"
The session lasted long, but gradually the COM
pany grew smaller. Presently they had all gone
except Brahms and Cornelius Rubner. After
while even Brahms suggested home. and his young
companion eagerly agreed to adjourn the session
On the way home Brahms asked his companion
whose name he had heard by the way. do
you know this young director. Rubner?"
Are you interested IN him?' he asked by vay
OF answer.
Certainly. Adolf Jensen thinks he is not only
great but genial. Don't you know him?"
IT know him very well. He is arrogant con-
ceited fellow. who can do nothing and knows moth
ing
The pleasure of the evening spoiled by this
harsh opinion to man whom Brahms had
made up his mind to like The next morning he
attended with others a breakfast at lem
sens where he told the story. He had hardly fin
ished when the door opened end Rubner walked in
That's the who slandered your friend
said Brahms. and when everybody laughed he
suspected what told 10 him as soon as the
first man recovered.
