...Georg Buchner died at the age of 24 without answering this question about his character Woyzeck. The play stands as a skeleton, a series of 27 sketches which can be ordered to create either a clinical analysis or a predetermined tragic play.

Cleveland's Lorin Maazel and London's pianist-conductor Daniel Barenboim were also mentioned. Mehta himself said no when first asked if he wanted to be among those considered. When the Philharmonic came back with a firm offer a month ago (for an amount undoubtedly in excess of $100,000), he gave in. "My decision was a hard one," he said last week.
