Ima’s
adventures in Munich, Summer 1907, continued:
Saturday - Munich - to Tuesday
Mrs. Cooper, the friend whom Mrs. Thompson has asked to look after me is
delightful. Has taken me in full charge. My time has been most profitably spent
in listening to the discussion of various scientific and everyday subjects by
two men at our table-- Mr. Baumgardt, and Mr. Monroe. And Miss Koerner,
studying for opera, has sung some beautiful von Fielitz songs, and among other
things Rubenstein’s lovesong (Romance for Piano). [A dreamy piano piece:
did she listen with someone special?] We
have visited the new Pinakothek [art
museum]. The porcelains downstairs of Old
pictures are interesting. The pictures which impressed me were:.[Here she
wrote a long list of the pictures.] On
Monday took the libretto of Rheingold went into the Eng, Gardens, drove there a
while, got out & went to the banks of the Isar and read to each other. . . .
On Monday she sat on the banks of
the Isar River--with whom?
She does not say.
