Quote by Kurt Masur
Since the composer has said everything, if you discover everything, it will be enough and you will be a happy man. Don't try to say it's your taste, and because of that you are changing this or that. And I must say this respect is still there.
Summary
This quote suggests that as a composer, when one creates a piece of music, they have already expressed everything that needs to be said. If a listener is able to fully grasp and understand the composer's message, there is no need to alter or personalize it based on personal taste. While respect for the composer's original intention should remain, this quote implies that complete understanding and appreciation of the composition will bring fulfillment and happiness to the listener.
