Muti is going to do the Alpine Symphony this year. He will do it well because it is not very well known.
Bizet was a very young man when he composed this symphony, so play it softly.
Let's start at 35 because I don't know where it is.
That was perfect. It was just the opposite from what I said yesterday.
There is a number missing. I can see it.
I always feel I do it too slow, but then others do it faster.
He was listening so I don't remember.
Let me explain what I do here. I don't want to confuse you any more than absolutely necessary.
