Quote from preface: "Originally, the interviews on music only included the first 6 chapters. A seventh Interview was written in 1947 and a Post-Scriptum added in 1949 to the second edition: in it W F takes a clear stance on certain aspects of contemporary music that today fascinate and divide the mind."
Conversations about Music comprises the transcripts of six conversations between the conductor and the editor Walter Abendroth, a text written by Furtwängler (‘Seventh Conversation’) and an epilogue also written by him. In these texts, too, he is intensely in favour of classical, tonal music, especially the works of Beethoven.
