You Can't Learn Pathos Or Profundity.

I Think Bach Is Equally A Romantic Composer Because He Laid The Seeds Harmonically For People Like Chopin And The Great Romantics, Brahms, So Its Difficult To You Know All This Like Labelling And Putting - I Think Bach Is Attractive To Musicians Because He Supersedes The Labels.

I've Learnt New Scales Through Playing Different Types Of Music, Like Indian Raga Scales, Gipsy Scales And Harmonically-based Jazz Scales.

Even If You're Playing Brahms Or A Beethoven Concerto, You've Got To Have A Different Vantage Point, Slightly, Each Time.

If You're Playing Within Your Capability, What's The Point? If You're Not Pushing Your Own Technique To Its Own Limits With The Risk That It Might Just Crumble At Any Moment, Then You're Not Really Doing Your Job.

I Can Think And Play Stuff In Classical Music That Possibly Violinists Who Didn't Have Access To Other Types Of Music Could Never Do. It Means I'm More Flexible Within Classical Music, To Be A Servant To The Composer.
