Describes how this musician was only 15 when he had been invited to play in the conductors orchestra.

Yes thank you. Now I realise what "greșisem" was referring to. I will probably use the term "deluded" as "how misjudged I had been" makes not sense.
"a DELUSION is a false belief about oneself or other people that persists despite its being at variance with the facts" http://thesaurus.com/browse/delusion
THANK YOU AGAIN.

I think it's not about making mistakes, but about being wrong about someone/misjudging someone (the conductor, in this case) before having the chance to know him/meet him/have a first rehearsal, etc.

I really can;t say if it's about making mistakes in music or about being wrong (cat de mult gresisem - how wrong I was/how wrong I have been). The construction is ambiguous... I somehow think that if it was about "making mistakes", it should have been " cate greseli facusem". But there is no rule...so it;s just a guess.
Before this paragraph, is there any reference to another person? Described as " o ființa atât de completă, cu un așa simț artistic și mai deosebit de amabilă, călduroasă și înțelegătoare" ... ?

Mă îngrozea mult prima repetiție și încă după primele măsuri ale Concertului de Brahms mi-am dat seama cât de mult greșisem... În întreaga mea viață nu am întâlnit o ființa atât de completă, cu un așa simț artistic și mai deosebit de amabilă, călduroasă și înțelegătoare. Sensibilitatea sa, stăpânirea de sine și un temperament exploziv îi permiteau să facă să reiasă toate stările sufletești ale compozitorului interpretat.

Can you provide a larger context? What comes after "cat de mult gresisem"..? It seems to refer -like you said - to some mistakes in the playing, but what comes next could change it (if some explanatory sentence comes)...
