I dreamt of playing in the big halls all over the world and it has always been my dream to play for people in many different countries.

I dreamt of playing in the big halls all over the world and it has always been my dream to play for people in many different countries.

I usually need a lot of time to be completely alone with the particular piece, the composer, and the instrument. I also prefer a very quiet atmosphere, and I usually choose pieces that are very close to my personality, my heart. I think the audience can feel it.

It's important to play the pieces that you feel you can play well. It was always my dream to play Bach - my first love and fascination - Chopin, and Szymanowski.

Once I started playing the piano, after my first small competition, I realized that the piano was the right instrument for me.

A great artist can really enter the logic of any particular mazurka and fully understand the language of Chopin's music.

As a pianist, our particular role is to enter a piece and its logic and create a particular interpretation from our understanding. The most important thing for the performer is, after all, to create a special atmosphere - we enter the composer's feelings and emotions and recreate them freshly for a given audience.
