I established a certain standard of behavior, that, during my playing, there must be no talking.

Rhythm is the pulse of music.

Art without technique is invertebrate, shapeless, characterless.

Fatherland before everything, art afterward.

I established a certain standard of behavior, that, during my playing, there must be no talking.

The very essence of success is practice.

I cannot imagine a genuinely happy home without music in it.
