O.T. Best wishes to our BY community re Covid 19

[Gus Mahler]

GUS MAHLER: what does that "off" mean? Related to relaxation or heath issues or s.t. other?? Stay well.

Things are a little dark. Health and work and various other issues. I expect to pick up the pace in the future.

Thanks for your note.

It means he intended to complete that symphony in 2019 and it didn't happen. So now in 2020 he must continue to work on it or it may never get finished. Personally, I think it will remain unfinished.

Though it might remain unfinished, I can still revel in the majesty of the finale to the Resurrection Symphony (#2)

GUS: thank you for that clarification; don't mean to be prying into your personal life, but do welcome this better understanding of what you were communicating in your note. Will send up a prayer right now for that "better pace." DONE. Be well.
