It Doesn't Need To Be Imagined, It

I Consider The First 20 Performances Just Learning The Piece. Think About It This Way: If You Think About A Pianist Who Plays A Schubert Sonata Through His Whole Lifetime - If You Listen To Rubenstein Or Horowitz Playing Their Repertoire Later In Their Life, You Understand The Richness With Which They Play That Music, And How Differently They Must Have Played It When They Were Younger.

You Practice And You Get Better. It's Very Simple.

I, As A Young Guy Getting Out Of Music School, I Didn't Like The Prospect Of Spending My Life Writing Music For About 200 People.

I Travel The World, And I'm Happy To Say That America Is Still The Great Melting Pot - Maybe A Chunky Stew Rather Than A Melting Pot At This Point, But You Know What I Mean.

What I've Noticed Is That People Who Love What They Do, Regardless Of What That Might Be, Tend To Live Longer.
