I missed out going to the Sokol and instead attended the first of this season's student concerts. I love these events anyway, and on ths occasion Ossovskaya had asked me to accompany her student in the Grieg Concerto. In the same programme, one of Winkler's students, Dudar, was playing, a most lovely-looking girl. Today she got lost in the Schumann Toccata, kept stopping, and finally ran off the stage and into the corridor, where she broke down in such a terrible fit of hysterics that it simultaneously tugged at one's heartstrings and reminded one of a dog howling. She was spirited away into a classroom where with difficulty she was brought back to a state of reasonable equilibrium.
