The 'phone rang and a mid-European voice introduced itself as 'Stefan Lorant from America'. 'I like what you write. It was good. But I am not egotistical!'

The overture only just faded away and there was nervous 'first night' anticipation with the curtain about to go up .... There was never a dull moment.
