This is miles out of topic, but I thought first to ask this group.
It's about Mahler: two weeks before his symphony n. 7 would be performed
for the first time, Mahler closed himself in a Hotel's room and passed
the time examining the orchestration. It was in 1906, in Prague, and the
hotel was called Modr� Hvezda (Blue Star). I'm looking for that hotel,
it's address, even if it's not a hotel anymore. Can anobody give a clue?
Me:
I checked in the 1904-1906 volume of de La Grange's biography, which is probably the best day-by-day source, and there's no reference. Grove's lists the premiere of the 7th as being in Prague on 19 September 1908, not 1906. And the 1907-1911 de la Grange volume hasn't been published yet.
