I Was Different From Most Young Conductors

I Was Different From Most Young Conductors Today.

And I Always Tried To Be Not A Star. To Be Someone Who People Like To Talk To.

I Wouldn't Say I've Changed My Mind. I Changed Some Of My Natural Habits, Some Of My Natural Character.

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.
