What I Never Overcame Is A Kind

Even My Family Laughed At Me Because They Thought This Young Guy Who's Always Stuttering In Front Of Other People Should Be In Front Of 100 Musicians And Talk To Them And Leading Them.

Even I Had No Opportunity To Conduct Very Many Concerts After World War Ii.

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.

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.

What I Never Overcame Is A Kind Of Shyness.
