The Academy Gave Me A Grounding In

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.

The Joy Of Working With The Chicago Symphony Was Immeasureable.

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

Friends Are Very Important To Me, And I Have Always Had Many Of Them. There Are Probably Many Reasons Why This Is So, But Two Seem To Me More Valid Than Any Of The Others I Am A Naturally Friendly Person, And I Hate To Be Alone.
