To Play Without Passion Is Inexcusable!

It Is The Power Of Music To Carry One Directly Into The Mental State Of The Composer.

All My Life I Have Regarded Myself As One Of Mozart's Greatest Admirers, And I Will Remain One Until My Last Breath.

To Me The Highest Thing, After God, Is My Honor.

From The Glow Of Enthusiasm I Let The Melody Escape.

I Change Many Things, Discard Others, And Try Again And Again Until I Am Satisfied; Then, In My Head, I Being To Elaborate The Work In Its Breadth, Its Narrowness, Its Height, Its Depth...i Hear And See The Image In Front Of Me From Every Angle As If It Had Been Cast And Only The Labour Of Writing It Down Remains.
