Slatkin Prepared for Life After the NSO

Leonard Slatkin has accepted a faculty position at Indiana University, which could be interpreted as another step toward a gradual retreat from the life of active Music Directorship... Although bound to stay extraordinarily busy, this might give him an opportunity to work on projects like a completion of the Mahler 10th, at which he hinted in a recent interview.
