Leonard Bernstein was born 100 years ago this month Bernstein was a conductor a composer a pianist and he was also an expert at word games Charlie Harmon was Leonard Bernstein assistant and coincidentally I also like to play anagrams rearranging letters in a word to spell something new when Harmon worked with Bernstein the anagrams began on the very 1st day so the 1st night after he drank my Jan Oh yeah there was that too and then Bernstein decided to make anagrams out of the letters in the names of everyone present and I wasn't contributing to this conversation well this monologue and he turned to me and he said you don't know what we're doing. And I said well I have a bite anagrams and so I was not going I was off the hook immediately because Richard Nelson challenge a word and Bernstein turned to me and said fetch me my chambers. Which I knew was the Chambers Dictionary of the English language. And ran upstairs and I thought oh my gosh I'm going to have to learn to play and I grams again Plus I'm going to have to respond to the commands such as fetch. But then any time that we are in the car together and it could be anywhere in anybody else could be in the car too he would say I have a 5 letter word and you guess words that are 5 letters no letter repeats and he will say the number. 0 and that means that the word that you guessed has no letters in common with a word that means think so then you can get the 5 letters you can say Ok resin are yes I am and he'll say 5 but that's not the word and you have to say rents are a n.s.e. And those 5 is a siren. As far as I and you say oh gosh reigns by. What else is there actually is our a.s.i. In anagram into 5 different words. So that was constant that was every car ride every taxi ride as I have a 5 letter word. Risen. In. My mind was not going to stop turning that over until until I got it. So glad to have a chance to speak with Charlie Harmon he was Leonard Bernstein assistant and later music archivist and librarian Charlie Harmon has a new book called on the road and off the record with Leonard Bernstein you can find details on our website right now some music that brings to mind that Bernstein mischief and playfulness 3 dance episodes from his musical on the town and this is Leonard Bernstein himself conducting the New York Philharmonic. 6. Her. Leonard Bernstein wrote that music in 1904 and as someone who lives in New York City today for me that still captures the manic energy and excitement of New York City 3 dance episodes from the musical on the town by Leonard Bernstein and that's a classic recording with Bernstein himself conducting the New York Philharmonic Charlie Harmon was Bernstein's personal assistant for several years in the 1980 s. Harmon has written a book called on the road and off the record with Leonard Bernstein right before we heard from on the town Charlie Harmon mentioned that Bernstein loved anagrams word games where you rearrange letters to form a new word Harmon said he was pretty good at anagrams but Bernstein circle of friends included some experts I'm not as good as Stephen Sondheim nobody is Stephen Sondheim saw the word harmonica and then an s. Came up in a game and he immediately made anachronism now that is a level of anagram that I. It's it's the genius level very few people are there well Bernstein was there too he was at that level. Charlie Harmon and by the way his name anagrams into camel hair horn Charlie Harmon was Leonard Bernstein personal assistants and later music archivist and librarian for the Bernstein estate This month we're celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Leonard Bernstein hearing every day on Petey from his colleagues friends and family members.

I feel that in the younger more thought there is so much an element of joy and they don't the tragedy and drama of life takes and yet there is still it's true do not. Leave the orchestra from the keyboard on this week's Chicago Symphony Orchestra broadcast. Tonight at 9 o'clock. Time for another edition of classical music myth busting There's an old story that goes around about Mozart's string quartet number 15 piece he wrote in $1783.00 according to legend Mozart wrote the piece while his wife was in labor with their 1st child and not just during the same month or week but that Mozart was home writing the piece while his wife Constanza was in the other room giving birth and that Mozart heard her cries from across the hall and put that into his music right here. That's what some have suggested to be Mozart's Musical reaction to hearing his wife cry out during labor pains Well that's a memorable story but probably not true there's really no evidence to support that except that the story is going around in fact some obstetricians even weighed the evidence in a medical journal and determined great story but not possible based on a letter months our wrote to his father about the birth it seems that Constanza was in labor for a very short period of time not nearly long enough to get that music on paper Sorry to bust that fun myth but the music is still great and let's hear it the Ben quartet gave this concert inch fencing in Germany the string quartet number 15 by Mozart. Hold. On to be a little bit of a loser. Lol . Illegibly. Led. Luck. Led. An. Elite. To. Lose. To a lawyer. And . You. Lose. Oh. You. You and. Your. Last. Her. For the. Mozart wrote that piece in Vienna in 1783 his string quartet number 15. The Ben quartet is based in France but they give that concert on the road at Mozart hall and sing in Germany that was during the annual spring time show that sing in festival. Just a few months after they gave that concert the abend quartet announced a change in their lineup Adriane Boisseau had been playing viola with the group well he chose to take up a solo career left the band Marie Szalavitz now playing viola in the a band quartet and that's been a bit of a rotating spot she's the 3rd violist in the event quartet since 2014.
