My Entire Learning Process Is Slow, Because

I Was Born And Trained To Communicate Music, Just As The Sons Were Born And Trained To Hunt, And I Was Lucky To Have Grown Up In Hungary, A Country That Lives And Breathes Music-that Has A Passionate Belief In The Power Of Music As A Celebration Of Life.

Everyone Says You Have To Be A Specialist, And If You Conduct Wagner You Cannot Conduct Mozart - This Is Nonsense.

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.

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

The Experience Awakened 'my Tremendous Musical Ambition, Which Has Never Subsided To This Day.
