Well, rhythm is 90 percent of the interpretation.

This young man is an exceptionally gifted and talented violinist ... He is a first class talent.

Of course the most difficult thing on the violin is always intonation. The second one is rhythm. If you play in tune, in time with a good sound that's already high level. Those three are the main things.

Well, rhythm is 90 percent of the interpretation.

I don't have favourites, I think, when you play, you have to be like a prostitute, you have to love the piece you are playing. Even if you don't like it, you have to play it as if you would like it. Then you are a good interpreter.

So, first you have to be able to play with a metronome. Then you take your freedom. If you play in an orchestra, you got to watch the conductor, he is like a metronome, but it is more difficult because he can change rhythms.

You have to do a lot of listening, you don't just learn out of yourself.
