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.

I always imagined that to bring an orchestra to play together is not enough for a conductor.

I was different from most young conductors today.

Young conductors who are confident enough, they very often have success.

I wouldn't say I've changed my mind. I changed some of my natural habits, some of my natural character.

What I never overcame is a kind of shyness.
