Among the famous conductors of the 20th century, Japan's Seiji Ozawa, India's Mehta and Singapore's Zhu Hui are known as the "three great oriental conductors in the world". Among them, Seiji Ozawa is lucky. He is a true disciple of the three conductors of the 20th century, Mingxi, Karajan and Bernstein, and is known as "Little Karajan" by the world.
Once, he went to Europe to participate in a music conductor competition, and he was placed last in the finals. After Seiji Ozawa received the music score handed over by the judges, he made some preparations and then concentrated on conducting. Suddenly, he found a little dissonance in the music.
At first he thought it was a mistake, so he asked the band to stop and play again, but he still felt it was discordant. At this point, he thought there was something wrong with the score. However, the composer and the authorities present on the jury all solemnly said: There is absolutely nothing wrong with the score, it was just his illusion.
Facing hundreds of authorities in the international music industry, he inevitably hesitated or even wavered in his judgment. However, he thought twice and firmly believed that his judgment was correct.

It turns out that this is a trap carefully designed by the judges to test whether the conductors can stick to their correct judgments when they find mistakes and the authorities refuse to admit them. Because only those with this quality can truly be called world-class musicians.
During the competition, Seiji Ozawa was not the only conductor who discovered the error in the score, but they all hesitantly slipped the error away. Only Seiji Ozawa was able to fully He bravely pointed out the mistake with confidence, so only he won the gold medal.
