What I Never Overcame Is A Kind

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.

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.

And At The Same Time, I Had My Very First Concert At The Age Of 16. I Hadn't Heard A Symphony Orchestra Before, And I Was So Deeply Impressed I Said I Have To Be A Conductor.

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.

Sometimes If You Have Very Confident People, You Have To Tell Them Please, Be Polite, There Are Other Players Are Good Enough As You And You Should Never Speak Out Of An Orchestra.
