«As is often the case, etymology clarifies the deeper meaning of a word: "excellence" denotes what stands highest, what rises above. In music it becomes a continuous striving to surpass one's own limits, through study, discipline and attention to detail.
I also associate it with talent — a quality one may or may not possess, but cannot acquire — and above all with the artist's intellectual honesty, the mastery of a solid technique, perseverance and what I would call a moral choice: to place oneself at the service of music with respect and humility.»
