I feel at home in an orchestral score.

I have always studied my parts with the orchestral score and not with the piano reduction.

The public made me and then encouraged me for many years, and my future even now depends upon it.

But I won't deprive myself of singing opera as long as my voice follows.

Sometimes pianists try to sound like singers: me personally, I try to sound like a Bösendorfer.

We all have a destiny in accordance with the breadth of our shoulders. My shoulders are broad.

I am never wrong when it comes to my possibilities.
