The Cleveland Orchestra played this once in a Szell rehearsal. The story goes that Szell was not amused and said that the Mahler comes first. Later he remarked that he would have laughed had he recognized the tune.

1948 was the last time the Indians won the World Series. Between then and this year they reached the series in 1954, 1995 and 1997.
The Indians were last in the World Series in 1954, losing to the NY Giants.

What fun!
Good luck with your upcoming Nevada Chamber Music Festival, masetro Kuchar!
