I Can Only Hope That Neither Of

From Toscanini I Learnt The Essential And Desperate Seriousness Of Making Music.

My Entire Learning Process Is Slow, Because I Have No Visual Memory.

I Wanted To Get Away From My Past And Everything Connected With It.

After About Six Months, I Told My Mother That I Wanted The Lessons To Stop, And She Was Intelligent Enough Not To Force Me To Continue. Besides, The Lessons Cost Money, Which Was Anything But Abundant In Our Household.

Friends Are Very Important To Me, And I Have Always Had Many Of Them. There Are Probably Many Reasons Why This Is So, But Two Seem To Me More Valid Than Any Of The Others I Am A Naturally Friendly Person, And I Hate To Be Alone.
