I Don't Have Hobbies. I Have Passions.

When We Play An Unaccompanied Bach Suite We May Compare Ourselves To An Actor In Shakespeare's Day, Creating Scenery Which Did Not Exist At All, Through The Power Of Declamation And Suggestion. So In Bach. There Is But One Voice -- And Many Voices Have To Be Suggested.

I Do Not Think A Day Passes In My Life In Which I Fail To Look With Fresh Amazement At The Miracle Of Nature.

I See In The Melody Of Nature, God. It Is A Wonderful Work Of Art. The Spirit Of The Art Is Wonderful. And I Feel That I Am Myself Because I Have Never Taken Music Lightly. Music Is The Manifestation Of God, Like Everything Else.

When You Play Bach Like Chopin, And Chopin Like Bach, Something Good Happens.

I Don't Have Hobbies. I Have Passions.
