On PLAYING the PIANO/BEING A PIANIST:
"To play the piano is to consort with nature. Every molecule, galaxy, vapor, or viper, as well the sweet incense of love's distraction, is within the hands and grasp of the pianist. The result may be a mess or a blessing...."
"To master the piano is to master the universe. The spectrum of piano sound acts as a prism through which all musical and non-musical sounds may be filtered. The grunts of sheep, the braying of mules, the popping of champagne corks, the sighs of unrequited love...."
"To succeed as a pianist, one's intelligence quotient should reside on either of two distinct levels: an I.Q. of below 110 or above 140. The lively curiosity which distinguishes those who are in between will militate against the focused tenacity required to play the piano and to master its physical and structural labyrinths. It is like looking at Mars through a telescope for six hours each day while tracing the Byzantine network of its grooves and clusters, lines and patterns. One has to be a little inhuman or insane, stupid or brilliant."
