I’m sadly an American idiot. “Sveirge” thank you. I actually admire your work with butterflies and our environment. I am a proud Soderlund. (I know there should be some dots above the vowels).

Why is Svenska the greatest country in the world? Also my father was born there.

Thank you so much for your response and this AMA. I totally get your point about the evolution of instruments, if I could ask you one more question regarding that; how would you reconcile today’s instruments and said advancements to the unicorn of orchestra instruments, the “Strad”. Cellist hobbyist here and to the guy that questioned your intent on doing this AMA, screw him.

Your insight and answers to my questions and the many others offer an intimate and pedestrian understanding for a simple guy like me that works for the railroad, played the cello for 8 years in my youth, and decided that picking it up again wouldn’t be wasted time. Thank you for doing this. Have a great night!

This just popped up in my feed so I hope it’s not too late to ask a question. With the autonomy that conductors have (urgency of a crescendo example); how close do you feel modern day renditions of the classics are to say a Mozart or Beethoven’s vision of their original piece?
