Hugo Alfven – Symphonie n4
I chose to become a conductor (and the same could be said for any performer) who is not looking for easy success, noisy applause and repeating year after year the same works which are invariably acclaimed by the public, but one who at each
performance is in danger of not receiving an ovation or of being misunderstood.
I chose this path myself and I have never regretted it. On the contrary I am happy that I have already fulfilled many of the tasks which I had planned. However it is impossible to accomplish everything one would like to do. There are so many
remarkable works which have not yet become part of music lovers’ heritage.
