conductor fiery huge hysteria ideas musical prefer romantic sincerity time
I don't like to hurry. I'm not a conductor of the fast, fiery romantic type. I prefer Bruckner, with the sincerity of his musical language and the huge time spans in which his ideas develop, to Mahler, with his hysteria and self-indulgence.
pianist type
Beethoven, Schubert, Schoenberg, Berg imply a type of pianist who is intellectual. That's not always associated with female soloists.
ambient debt medical profession surgery
I had a sense of debt to the medical profession and to surgery particularly. I would not be as ambient as I am without it.
