So I'm back in London now beginning my two weeks of mandatory quarantine after being in Switzerland

and France over the last four weeks. It was just an incredibly special experience to make

music again and also to see that the audiences came back. We had an almost completely full up to the capacity that we were allowed to have

hall in every single concert we did from Lozan to Bezon song where we did our final

concert. So that's really special, really encouraging, gives us a lot of hope for when we're

past this that audiences really do want to come back and hear live music again. So again, wherever

you are in the world, that situation might be very different and so if you can think

about your local arts organizations I know they would really appreciate right

now all the help that you can possibly give them. Thanks again and now on to today's Patreon sponsored episode on Brookner's Fourth Symphony. Oh, There is in the scholarship on Anton Bruckner something known as the Bruckner problem.

It's not a problem with his music. It's not a problem with his personality and it's not a problem with understanding what he was after in the character of his massive symphonies.
