Any performer tries to perform music as if for the first time, with all that energy and excitement that comes from discovering a new piece--maybe trying to recreate the memory of falling in love with a piece when hearing it first as a child--and just as people regularly say of a brilliant conductor that they seem to conduct as if recreating the energy an audience must have felt when the piece was first played decades, even centuries, before, so too I think we need to communicate our knowledge with the passion we first encountered as children. Armando Iannucci
About This Quote

The idea here is that you should try to communicate your passion with the same intensity and motivation that you did when you first heard the piece. This quote is a great reminder that being passionate about your work can help you get amazing results. It goes without saying that a great idea is only a good idea if it is communicated to the right person in a way that makes them understand it. Imagine how much more effective the music of Mozart would have been if he had been able to perform it as if he was performing his first performance of it at age ten.
