There's A Part Of Me That's Always

Music Has Always Been Transnational; People Pick Up Whatever Interests Them, And Certainly A Lot Of Classical Music Has Absorbed Influences From All Over The World.

When People Ask Me How They Should Approach Performance, I Always Tell Them The Professional Musician Should Aspire To The State Of The Beginner.

After Reaching 50, I Began To Wonder What The Root Of Life Is.

I Think Of A Piece Of Music As Something That Comes Alive When It Is Being Performed, And I Feel That My Role In The Transmission Of Music Is To Be Its Best Advocate At That Moment.

I Think Anybody Who Goes Away Finds You Appreciate Home More When You Return.
