I told him he'd have a heart attack a year ago, but unfortunately he lived a year longer.

At every concert I've sensed a certain insecurity about the tempo. It's clearly marked 80...uh, 69.

Long note? Yes. Make it seem short.

Thank you for your cooperation and vice versa.

Write it down in your own handwriting.

Please follow me because I have to follow him and he isn't here.

I'm conducting slowly because I don't know the tempo.
