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

On the other hand, I have devoted so much energy to reach the top that I accept the stress of being there.

When facing symphonic orchestras which have played some works five thousands times, you have nothing to do.

I'm not superstitious because it brings bad luck.

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

I feel at home in an orchestral score.

My strength is my enthusiasm.
