“You have to have the gift to realise when you have to treat music like a monument, or physics, or a building, and when to put your soul into it. The notes are giving you all the information, you are either moved, and then you try to express by what you are moved, or you are not moved. If you don’t have the spirit and the soul to be moved by music, forget it! Then rather become a dressmaker, or a shoemaker!”
