Theme: Karajan

Musicians who have left great music have also left great words. A nice interpretation of the subject. Words to live by, even if you have to use them forcefully in your daily life.

So, what’s the topic today?

Name:

Karajan

Quotation:

It is very meaningful to have a concert in front of children.
Before delivering a good sound,
It shows adults are doing their best in front of the children.

Herbert von Karajan is an Austrian conductor. Throughout his life, he worked to popularize classical music and captivated the crowd with his extensive repertoire. For 34 years from 1955, he was the lifetime conductor and artistic director of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and at the same time the general director of the Vienna State Opera and the artistic director of the Salzburg Music Festival. It can be said that he dominated the major posts in the classical music world and had a great influence.

When Karajan took command, all the music flowed brilliantly without stagnation, and it was said that his commanding and managing ability had reached the level of art. At a performance in Japan, he heard sobbing from the audience. It seems that the nurturing of people was the basis of his talent to give consideration to all members and bring out their abilities.

In fact, the leading conductor of Japan, Seiji Ozawa is also his most successful pupil. As an episode of Karajan's personality, it seems that there was a time when Ozawa himself was boycotted by the members. Was it some sort of bullying? Karajan saved him from the boycott by the members by evaluating Ozawa's ability. Seiji Ozawa has always been grateful for this episode.

Well, this time's quote. Do you not think that it is a wonderful line even if it is a line that he only said to the members? Why do we play music? It is important for adults to be absorbed in playing and to play hard, and this has a strong persuasive power as children will be impressed by the appearance and realize the joy and enjoyment of music.

Isn't this true for anything? Showing a serious and hard-working figure. Children can honestly feel what is born from it and the significance and meaning of these efforts. Don’t you feel okay even if you fail? This is not an appearance.
It has been a long time since I have come across such wonderful words.

Bravo! 5 cushions!
