I Feel That You Always Pay When

I Find Personally That When I Go To A Place Where I Can't Get In, I Feel Hostility From Whatever It Is, A Hotel, A Shop, A Market, A Street Corner Where There Are No Curb Cuts, Because Somebody Forgot To Put Them In, And Where I Have To Go Two Blocks To The Corner To Do It. A Lot Of The Excuses Are, "well, This Is An Old Building." That's My Favorite One. "this Is An Old Building." It's As Though 50 Years Ago, People With Disabilities Did Not Exist. As If The Disabled Are A New Problem. It Has Always Been A Problem.

I Do Three Things. I Do Teaching, I Do Conducting And I Do Playing. And Each One Of Those Sort Of Helps The Other.

One Must Always Practice Slowly. If You Learn Something Slowly, You Forget It Slowly.

Another Thing That You Really Do When You Play, That You're Supposed To Do, Is Colors. You Know, You Cannot Play With One Color. If You Play With One Color, Again, It's Like Watching A Beautiful Painting, A Drawing, But It's All In Blue Or It's All In Red. May Be Very Nice, But Not Very Interesting.

The Violin Of My Dreams. If You Wanna Play A Pianissimo That Is Almost Inaudible And Yet It Carries Through A Hall That Seats 3,000 People, There's Your Strad.
