Erich Leinsdorf Nov. 22, 1963--plays Funeral March from Beethoven's Third.

An audio recording of Erich Leinsdorf telling the audience the President has been assassinated, during their Friday afternoon concert and then playing the Funeral March from Beethoven's Third Symphony. With a touching remembrance by the librarian who had to go get the parts from the music library and distribute them to the orchestra members.
