R. definitely wants me with him in Vienna; I should like to stay at home to keep an eye on the house. He composes the concert ending to Hagen’s Watch, which puts him in good spirits.
In the afternoon a drive to the theater; terrible impression again - nothing done about the ground clearance, all the rubble still lying around, no plantings possible this year! ... Dismal mood; in the evening some calming down and restoration of spirits.
