18515^ème jour

Leander IV

Journée très intense professionnellement avec trois visites plus un dîner avec des clients. J’arrive juste à m’échapper une heure en fin d’après midi pour retourner dans la vieille ville. J’ai en effet aperçu la veille une jolie montre d’occasion mais la boutique où elle se trouve en vitrine est encore fermée. Je voulais aussi demander le prix d’un incroyable échiquier imaginé par un designer allemand que je ne connaissais pas : Paul Wunderlich. Quant à la table échiquier, je n’ai pas été déçu par son prix : 25.000 francs suisse (15.000 seulement sans les pièces, fabriquées quant à elles à Birmingham).
Mais l’instant qui m’a fait battre le coeur est ce nouveau message de Leander reçu dans l’après midi:

Hello Vincent,
Well, that's funny.
How was the concert? It's a pity that I didn't work yesterday evening, because the concert I attended in the afternoon was quite a bad one...
Hmm, so did you work in Zurich last week? Because I saw you wrote the first e-mail from Paris?
So good start in the new week, wherever you work now.
Greetings,
Leander

auquel je réponds le soir après dîner:

Hello Leander!
It's always nice for me to receive a message from you.
Yesterday's concert was nice, not exceptional. I like the Gewandhaus orchestra which I heard several times in Paris but the programme of the first part was a little bit boring (A Mendelssohn youth Overture plus Schumann violin concerto). I came mainly for the second part because I love Schumann Fourth Symphony and it is very rare to listen to it in Mahler orchestration (Yes Mahler again :o) )
So I had a busy week last week (Paris Birmingham Paris Prague and today I had several meetings in Zurich. So I decided to come to Zurich the day before and to try to find a last minute ticket for the Luzern concert.
Tomorrow morning I fly to Amsterdam and I will stay in the Netherlands until Thursday. Tomorrow evening I have a concert at the Concergebouw which is another amazing concert hall in Europe.
What's about you? What do you do for living?
And another question. Would you like to listen to Claudio Abbado in Mahler Ninth again?
With my best greetings.
Vincent
