I come to a performance of music that I know very well as if I were performing it for the first time. Every day is a new day, a new experience. This is the way I approach a masterpiece.

If you come with a fresh feeling toward a masterpiece, it will always feel fresh and give you the benefit of its genius. - Lorin Maazel
