I Was Different From Most Young Conductors

You Have To Change Your Mind With Every Orchestra Because Every Orchestra Has A Different Character.

At The Age Of 16, Something Happened With My Finger And The Doctor Told Me, You Never Can Be A Organist Or Pianist, So Think About What You Do With Music.

If You Go To Japan For Instance, You Should Know That They Have A Different Way Of Playing Beethoven Or Brahms. But If You Play With Them Mozart, Debussy, Mendelssohn, They Have A Wonderful Light Feeling For That.

And If You Are Strong Enough, Then You Can Grow As A Conductor More And More.

I Worked On Scores. I Went To The Musical Library In Berlin Which Is Very Famous. I Discovered That We Had Scores Of Beethoven, Printed Scores Of Beethoven, That Are Full Of Mistakes. Not The Wrong Or False Notes, But The Wrong Dynamic, Understandable Things.
