I Wanted To Get Away

From Toscanini I Learnt The Essential And Desperate Seriousness Of Making Music.

Friends Are Very Important To Me, And I Have Always Had Many Of Them. There Are Probably Many Reasons Why This Is So, But Two Seem To Me More Valid Than Any Of The Others I Am A Naturally Friendly Person, And I Hate To Be Alone.

I Was Born And Trained To Communicate Music, Just As The Sons Were Born And Trained To Hunt, And I Was Lucky To Have Grown Up In Hungary, A Country That Lives And Breathes Music-that Has A Passionate Belief In The Power Of Music As A Celebration Of Life.

I Wanted To Get Away From My Past And Everything Connected With It.

I Can Only Hope That Neither Of Them Was Scarred By Their Upbringing.
