I Was Different From Most

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.

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.

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.

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.
