I Think That Peace Is, In Many

Classical Music Is One Of The Best Things That Ever Happened To Mankind. If You Get Introduced To It In The Right Way, It Becomes Your Friend For Life.

This Middle Age Thing Is A Little Weird. Some Friends And Mentors Are Gone, And There's A Very Forward-looking New Generation Coming Up Behind Me. So It's Very Much Finding My Own Place.

Nobody Else Can Make The Sound You Make.

I Think The Purpose Of A Piece Of Music Is Significant When It Actually Lives In Somebody Else. A Composer Puts Down A Code, And A Performer Can Activate The Code In Somebody Else. Once It Lives In Somebody Else, It Can Live In Others As Well.

A Senegalese Poet Said 'in The End We Will Conserve Only What We Love. We Love Only What We Understand, And We Will Understand Only What We Are Taught.' We Must Learn About Other Cultures In Order To Understand, In Order To Love, And In Order To Preserve Our Common World Heritage.
