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

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.

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.

What I Never Overcame Is A Kind Of Shyness.

I Was Different From Most Young Conductors Today.

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.
