My Entire Learning Process Is Slow, Because

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

The Academy Gave Me A Grounding In Discipline And Hard Work That Has Sustained Me Throughout My Life, And The Lessons I Learned There I Now Try To Impress On Young People.

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

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

But One Day, When I Was Still Young, I Was Parted From My Family And Left My Native Country. I Hunted And Searched For Music, And Destiny Turned Me Into The Object Of My Hunt. The Circumstances Of Life Became My 'antlers' And Prevented Me From Returning Home.
