Description
Excerpt from On the Performance of Beethoven''s Symphonies
It is true that this state of things may be improved by instrumental changes; but unless those changes are conducted with the utmost prudence and good taste, there is great danger lest the most important thing of all, Beethoven''s own peculiar style, may suffer; for, in spite of the indisputable imperfections mentioned above, Beethoven''s handling of the orchestra is so entirely peculiar to himself, that the greatest caution is necessary if it is to be in any way interfered with.
