I Was Different From Most Young Conductors

I Can Go In Front Of An Orchestra. I Can Go In Front Of An Audience. But If You See Me Walking Through An Audience In The Reception Or Through A Lot Of People, I'm Still Shy.

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.

The Message Of Music Was Also The First Thing What I Learned From My First Teacher. She Was An Organist Too And She Was Very Devoted To What She Played, So She Had A Respect For Every Piece And She Felt That She Is Not Allowed To Add Something Of Her Own.

If Every School Would Hire Two More Music Teachers, We Would Need Two Fewer Police Officers.

Young Conductors Who Are Confident Enough, They Very Often Have Success.
