HEYWORTH: Do you regard yourself as a conductor who happens to compose, or as a composer who has been unjustly neglected?
KLEMPERER: It's a very difficult question. I can only say a few words. Naturally, I would be glad to be remembered as a conductor and as a composer. But, without wanting to be arrogant, I would only like to be remembered as a good composer. If people find my compositions weak, then it is better not to be remembered.
Peter Heyworth, Conversations with Klemperer (London and Boston: Faber and Faber, 1973), p. 129.
