Delius in Berlin - December, 1900

from Delius: A Life in Letters 1862-1908, page 176:

As far as I can see I have absolutely no chance here - Strauss plays his own things - Weingartner plays his own things & Nikisch plays nothing new - The last Concert was a Haydn Symphonie - Mendelssohn Violin Concerto & a slow ungifted Dramatic Overture by Scharwenka "beaucoup de bruit pour rien" Strauss of course is always interesting - but as I am here I might as well stay a bit & hear as much new as I can -
