“There are two things that are important when rendering a piece of music: to be able to hear yourself so objectively as if you were listening to somebody who was in the distance and a total stranger. How to use your hearing aid…I’m going to call it that…and to be able to analyse what yourself are doing on that instrument. That’s what some are not capable of achieving. It’s not only to be critical of someone else, be critical just in the same way of yourself, and capable of such observation. But it’s terribly important because don’t mislead yourself, you think maybe you are doing everything so wonderfully well, but maybe it’s not so! So the question is: when you play something, do an experiment, take a recording or a tape, and listen to yourself. Do you trust that tape 100%, that that’s really what you’ve done? That’s the question!”
