In my mother's belly, I remember not liking the tempi my father played the Beethoven Sonatas in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My parents loved classical music. And my father adored Mozart. But for some reason, I always had a reaction against it.
I grew up with classical music when I was a ballet dancer. Now when I have to prepare an emotional scene, to cry or whatever, I listen to sonatas. Vivaldi and stuff. It's just beautiful to me.
You don't go out and play Beethoven's 'Opus 111' without having rethought about it every time you play.
One of my dogs is in the movie Beethoven's 2nd.
It's hard to remember my childhood without remembering music.
I played classical as a kid.
I'd forget the piece just before I went out to do the concerto, the panic was too great. This was not anything that gave me pleasure. This was fulfilling somebody else's dream.
I have that memory of dancing on my father's feet to all the music my parents used to listen to.
I loved music from earliest childhood - from as long as I can remember.
I got obsessed with classical music, I got obsessed with Chopin, with playing the piano.
