Even I Had No Opportunity To Conduct

As I Came To New York, It Was For Me A New Beginning. To Discover What People Are Living Here. What Do They Need, What Do They Expect, What Would They Like To Be The Image And The Performance Of The New York Philharmonic?

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.

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.

An Orchestra Full Of Stars Can Be A Disaster.
