Krenek: Dr Mahler, is it true that you cancelled your conducting commitments in New York; because, competition with Toscanini is too strong? Or, because the people didn't appreciate your own music? Or, was it simply ill health?
Gustav Mahler: I was tired of skyscrapers and Sarsaparilla. I want to find a place near Vienna where the sun shines and the grapes grows and I can breathe again.
