00:00My first memory
00:28of the name Beethoven was, funnily enough, through my grandmother. I must have been six or seven and I was playing a piece by Mozart. And she said to me, what are you playing? And I said, Mozart. Mozart. Fui. Fui. The only composer that is important is Beethoven.
00:58And who will play for you? The low B? You have somebody coming?
01:12If you feel at the moment you are playing this, that your whole existence depends on that, then you have a very good chance to give justice to the music.
01:32But if you play it as a pastime, as something that is lovely or very pretty or wonderful or very strong or very exciting, if this is what interests you, I think it's better you live this music.
01:46Because music, especially of Beethoven, must be done as a matter of life and death.
