At one point during the rehearsals for [his] Eighth Symphony [Mahler] turn in the auditorium and said, ‘If, after my death, something doesn't sound right, then change it. You have not only the right but the duty to do so’. Those are good words for people who believe a conductor should never touch the notes.

@Boerps @classicalmusic Albert Wolff is always worth hearing...
@keefeglise @classicalmusic It was certainly a shocking and revolutionary piece, but because of its unique status in music history, it has probably been played too much. However, whenever I have the opportunity to hear it at a concert, I make sure not to miss it :)
