These conversations about music took place between Wilhelm Furtwangler and Walter Abendroth in 1937. They always deal with a certain topic, such as with the question of different possibilities of interpretation, with the interaction between artist and audience, with the relationship between orchestra and conductor, with classical and modern, tonal and atonal music. Wilhelm Furtwangler voices his opinion in a lively and spirited manner, always being aware of his artistic mission and never losing his sense of clarity and logic in the music. Walter Abendroth writes: 'The extent to which conscious intellectual work for its part is rooted in the immediate experience of the work of art and is induced only from there to feel this and follow that will certainly be of particular appeal to the readers of these conversations.'.
