He aroused the interest of Gustav Mahler, who secured performances for several of his works.
Go to the mother," said Malka angrily. "All my children are alike. It's getting late. Hadn't you better send across again for old Hyams?" "There's no hurry, mother," said Michael Birnbaum soothingly. "We must wait for Sam." "And who's Sam?" cried Malka unappeased. "Sam is Leah's Chosan," replied Michael ingenuously. "Clever!" sneered Malka.
Though a native of Germany, he spoke English as well as many Lane Jews, whose comparative impiety was a certificate of British birth. Michael Birnbaum was a great man in the local little synagogue if only one of the crowd at "Duke's Plaizer."
