You Cannot Play The Piano Well Unless

At Every Concert I Leave A Lot To The Moment. I Must Have The Unexpected, The Unforeseen. I Want To Risk, To Dare. I Want To Be Surprised By What Comes Out. I Want To Enjoy It More Than The Audience. That Way The Music Can Bloom Anew. It's Like Making Love. The Act Is Always The Same, But Each Time It's Different.

My Father, Good Or Bad, Mistakes Or No, Had A Direct Line From His Heart To The Music To The People, To The Audience. He Played With Logic And His Own Inner Truth.

I Feel That Special Secret Current Between The Public And Me. I Can Hold Them With One Little Note In The Air, And They Will Not Breathe. That Is A Great, Great Moment.
