WORLD:
There is a rumor that as an orchestra teacher you are a - well - tough dog.
Are you as critical with yourself while practicing as with your solo oboist during rehearsal?
Daniel Barenboim:
Much more critical.
I can't blame anyone other than myself for the fact that something doesn't turn out the way I imagined it before.
WORLD:
Do you scold yourself?
Barenboim:
Sure.
WORLD:
How does that sound then?
Barenboim:
Why are you playing ... such nonsense!
