That Makes Classical Music Work, The Ability

I Love To Work With Young Kids.

Nothing Is Better For My Playing Than Teaching Because When You Teach, You Have To Think And You Have To Listen What Other People Do. And Then All Of A Sudden, You Play Yourself And Then You Say, My Goodness, I Don't Need A Teacher. I'm My Own Teacher. Then I Can React To What I'm Doing Immediately. It Really Improves.

When You Play A Concerto With A Small Orchestra, You Don't Feel It Is As Important As Carnegie Hall. You Try To Work Out All The Little Problems. Once That's All Done, Trust Comes In.

The Thing Is That What You Try To Do When You Play Is You Try To Play Not Below A Certain Level. In Other Words, It Can Be A Special Day Where It Would Be Phenomenal, But If It's Not Below A Certain Level, That's The Goal. You Know, That's What You Want To Do. That's Why You Practice And So On.

The Violin Of My Dreams. If You Wanna Play A Pianissimo That Is Almost Inaudible And Yet It Carries Through A Hall That Seats 3,000 People, There's Your Strad.
