My grandfather was not a musician but he was an artist - a painter, a decorative painter.

Well I live in Vienna with my wife and son, and I teach in Hamburg, there will be no changes in that respect.

I continued to study Math and Physics on my own, but one and a half years later I realized that I did want to be a composer, and after that I never changed my mind.

For the past ten years I have had no financial problems.

It isn't false modesty when I say this, but although I am supposed to be a famous person it doesn't mean anything to me. I just sit at home and work.

But I do not want to use Hungarian verses for British people.

I only want to give a metaphysic for my music.
