And If You Are Strong

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.

If Every School Would Hire Two More Music Teachers, We Would Need Two Fewer Police Officers.

What I Never Overcame Is A Kind Of Shyness.

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.

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.
