One need not to perform concerts for the sake of biography of vanity and narcissism. You have to be incredibly honest towards Music, towards your colleagues, because all together you will burn with desire of creating something really beautiful. One should not be forced playing brilliant music, as should not be forced falling in love. You have to dissolve yourself in Music, reveal yourself, and take out the intimate capacity, to the end, at last to devote yourself. And that is what means to be in love with Music..."
