I Would Rather Have Ideas And Some Difficulties Of Technique Than A Perfect Technique And No Ideas.

I Never Studied, But I Had The Best Teachers.

There Is Too Much Emphasis On Technical Perfection Nowadays, And Not Enough On What Music Is Actually About - Irony, Joy, Human Suffering, Love.

People Are Craving This Great Progress In Electronics, Going After Computers, The Internet, Etc. It's A Giant Progress Technologically. But They Must Have A Balance Of Soul, A Balance For Human Beauty. That Means Art Has An Important Role.

The Artist Must Forget The Audience, Forget The Critics, Forget The Technique, Forget Everything But Love For The Music. Then, The Music Speaks Through The Performance, And The Performer And The Listener Will Walk Together With The Soul Of The Composer, And With God.
