I Was Different From Most Young Conductors

In South America, I Heard The 8th Symphony Of Beethoven. And The Young Conductor Thought, Beethoven Must Be Heroic. But This Is Piece Which Shouldn't Be Heroic. And This Was Such A Misunderstanding, Such A Deep Misunderstanding.

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

You Know As I Started As A Shy Young Conductor, I Always Wanted To Cooperate. To Build Up The Musicians. To Help Them To Be Better Than Without A Conductor. And Sometimes Young Talented Musicians Have To Be Encouraged.

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

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