	This is English USA, on the Voice of America. Now, Lesson 79, Part 2.

	MARTIN:	Are you feeling OK, Eileen?
	EILEEN:	Not bad. I'm glad I didn't go to the concert though. I'm better at home.
	MARTIN:	I'll call you again after the interview.
	EILEEN:	OK. Goodbye.

	MARTIN:	Thank you for meeting with me, Dr. Barzily.
	DR. B:	It's my pleasure. Do you live here in town, Mr. Learner?
	MARTIN:	No, I live in Baltimore.
	DR. B:	That's not so far. I've conducted in Baltimore several times.
	MARTIN:	I know. I've seen you there.
	DR. B:	My sister lives there.
	MARTIN:	Yes, my wife knows your sister very well.
	DR. B:	Is your wife Eileen Learner?
	MARTIN:	Yes. Do you remember her?
	DR. B:	Of course.
	MARTIN:	She won't believe it! What do you think of the concert hall, Dr. Barzily?
	DR. B:	It's wonderful. I always liked it, but it was so cold and ugly. Now it's warm and elegant.
	MARTIN:	It's much more comfortable for the audience.
	DR. B:	For the orchestra too. We have new space and new dressing rooms. Have you seen backstage?
	MARTIN:	Only this office.
	DR. B:	You must look around. There are eight or ten dressing rooms now. There were only two before. Five or six rooms are small and two are very large. They can be used as rehearsal rooms too.
	MARTIN:	What do you like best about the hall?
	DR. B:	The audience. I always like the audience best. But it's very nice to play in a good hall.
	MARTIN:	What makes a good concert hall?
	DR. B:	Sound and comfort. It has to make the orchestra sound very good.
	MARTIN:	And what about comfort?
	DR. B:	You know some musical pieces are very long. The audience and the players must be comfortable.
	MARTIN:	Do you like the colors?
	DR. B:	I like different colors for different music. The red and cream colors are very good. Blues and greens are cool colors. Browns and yellows and golds are happy colors.
	MARTIN:	Is there a perfect concert hall then?
	DR. B:	I don't think so. Some are too large for the orchestra and the music. Some are too small. I like a large hall for Beethoven, and a small hall for Mozart.
	MARTIN:	I think I understand. The hall should match the music.
	DR. B:	That's right, but they never do exactly.
	MARTIN:	What music would you like for this hall?
	DR. B:	The way it is now? This would be an excellent hall for Chopin and Liszt.
	MARTIN:	Thank you very much Dr. Barzily.
	DR. B:	You're welcome. Please give my regards to Eileen.
