I Wouldn't Say I've Changed My Mind.

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.

I Always Imagined That To Bring An Orchestra To Play Together Is Not Enough For A Conductor.

Since The Composer Has Said Everything, If You Discover Everything, It Will Be Enough And You Will Be A Happy Man. Don't Try To Say It's Your Taste, And Because Of That You Are Changing This Or That. And I Must Say This Respect Is Still There.

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.

Very Often, If I Know The Orchestra Doesn't Know A Piece Or It's A New Piece, I Have Main Ideas About It. But Then We Start To Play And I Never Talk About Places Where They Played So Beautiful And So Clear In The Beginning That There Is Nothing To Say.
