Tonight I'm going to listen with my ears. Muti is going to do the Alpine Symphony this year. He will do it well because it is not very well known. I will beat in six because of the distance. It's all very well to have principles, but when it comes to money, you have to be flexible.
Death is an awful thing.
I don't believe in it myself. When you have those dark glasses on, I can't tell whether you're looking at me or doubling. Bizet was a very young man when he composed this symphony, so play it softly. Start three bars before something. Write it down in your own handwriting.
