The piano is an orchestra with 88...... things, you know

I must tell you I take terrible risks. Because my playing is very clear, when I make a mistake you hear it. If you want me to play only the notes without any specific dynamics, I will never make one mistake. Never be afraid to dare.

Piano playing consists of common sense, heart and technical resources. All three should be equally developed. Without common sense you are a fiasco, without technique an amateur, without heart a machine. The profession does have its hazards.

My face is my passport.

My future is in my past and my past is my present. I must now make the present my future.

I have no style, because I change each time . . . each day I play differently. Today I play differently than yesterday.

If you want me to play only the notes without any specific dynamics, I will never make one mistake.
