Stokowski 'Rêverie for Strings' - The Conductor composes

On 1 March 1972, Leopold Stokowski, then aged 89, gave a concert with the American Symphony Orchestra da Camera at New York's Town Hall. For an encore, he turned to the audience and told them that when he was a student he had composed something and would they like to hear it, providing they weren't in a critical mood. Someone called out "Play it!" so Stokowski delighted the audience with this little piece for strings, which he entitled 'Rêverie', and thanked the audience at the end for their politeness!
