- I suppose there are a few famous conductors who have "mangled" a piece
- at one time or another, but as far I'm concerned, Ozawa is not one of
- them. However, rather than dismiss your critique out of hand, could you
- provide, in your estimation, a particularly egregious example of Ozawa's
- "mangling", and explain in what way you think he mangles it?

- Enquiring minds want to know.
