Wednesday, January 9:
R. returns to work! At lunch, recalling Rossini’s Moses, he says, “I’m now making my two Pharaohs sing their duet.” I continue arranging books with Herr v. W. An aunt of his has sent 100 marks for the Society of Patrons.
Walk with R. Unfortunately when we return home he is vexed about his C Major Overture and decides not to publish it. In the evening the history of the Arabs and Coriolanus.
