I'm Interested In What Happens

The Generation Of Composers That Are Just Preceded Me, People Like [karlheinz] Stockhausen, [pierre] Boulez, And, Well, [john] Cage For That Matter,[morton] Feldman ... That Was A Kind Of Experimental Music That Was Very Isolated. It Had No Real Public.

I Consider The First 20 Performances Just Learning The Piece. Think About It This Way: If You Think About A Pianist Who Plays A Schubert Sonata Through His Whole Lifetime - If You Listen To Rubenstein Or Horowitz Playing Their Repertoire Later In Their Life, You Understand The Richness With Which They Play That Music, And How Differently They Must Have Played It When They Were Younger.

I Find That People Can’t Find You. It’s Kind Of Quiet. When I Go To A City, I Can Almost Always Get A Piano If I Need One. So There’s Something Nice About Being On The Road And Focusing On Something You Want To Do.

What I've Noticed Is That People Who Love What They Do, Regardless Of What That Might Be, Tend To Live Longer.

If You Don't Have A Basis On Which To Make The Choice, Then You Don't Have A Style At All. You Have A Series Of Accidents.
