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

Play

Quote_1.png
Kurt Masur
"In South America, I heard the 8th Symphony of Beethoven. And the young conductor thought, Beethoven must be heroic. But this is piece which shouldn't be heroic. And this was such a misunderstanding, such a deep misunderstanding."

Thought

Change

"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."

Help

Shyness

Kurt Masur
