The Best Way To Refine An Interpretation

Every Orchestra Is Different. Sometimes, You're Blown Away By A Particular Musician. If I'm Playing The Brahms Concerto, It's Crucial To Have A Great Oboe Player, Because We Work In Tandem.

Being A Classical Musician, You're Doing Many Things Anyway. One Day You're Doing Bach Concerto And The Next You're Doing Some Avant-garde Thing. It's Just Another Hat That I'm Allowed To Wear.

I Open Up My Violin Case Every Day, And Have One Of The Great Creations. It Is Very Inspiring. It Makes You Want To Practice. How Can You Open Up A Case And Look At A Violin That Was Made In 1713 By One Of The Greatest Artists In History And Then Say, "no, I Don't Feel Like Practicing Today."

I Like Trying Things, I Am Kind Of Adventurous And I Like Thrill Seeking.

So Much Of Performing Is A Mind Game.
