That makes classical music work, the ability to improvise.
From Itzhak Perlman
Any gifted child can potentially get in real trouble because of the way they are handled.
The most important thing to do is really listen.
I have a very simple philosophy. One has to separate the abilities from the disabilities. The fact I cannot walk, that I need crutches or a scooter or whatever it is, has nothing to do with my playing the violin.
The danger in playing a piece over and over again lies in getting stuck in a rut where you don't ask questions anymore and you always play it the same way.
The arts are part of the fiber of American society and should get Federal support.
If you put your hand on the piano, you play a note. It's in tune. But if you put it on the violin, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. You have to figure it out.
Every person with a disability is an individual.
The problems of the disabled are unpopular.
When you are 8 or 9, you should have a childhood. You should have adolescence. You should go through everything in a normal way.
