It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

. . . interpretive differences in their own music were concerned. I've posted some stories about composers such as Martinu and Dvorak which indicate that they didn't have a single, fixed idea as to how their own music should go. To recap one of them: Dvorak actually conceived a tempo for the slow movement of the New World Symphony which was noticeably faster than the one taken by the first conductor in the rehearsals for the premiere of the work. When Dvorak's son-in-law, Josef Suk (the composer, not the violinist!) asked him if he was going to correct the conductor, Dvorak said no, because, on reflection, he thought that the conductor's slower tempo worked well too.
