And Then, When I Left Princeton In

Music Had Been My First Love Among The Arts, And I Was Fascinated By It, As I Still Am.

I'd Been Brought Up On The Upper East Side In A Wasp Society, Which Was Death On Crutches.

And I Finished College Because I Thought How Much It Would Upset My Parents If I Didnt.

My Idea Was To Go To Vienna To Study Conducting And Perhaps Play In An Orchestra First, So I Thought Before I Got To Vienna I Could Do With A Little Training In Paris.

I Graduated In 1952 And Went To Europe, With Niki And Our First Child Laura, Who Was Then A Year Old.
