“It has been the inspiration of piano legends like Horowitz, Cortot, Rachmaninoff and Rubinstein which has guided me in my piano teaching and became the impetus for starting the New York Piano Academy in 2005.”
“It is that poetry, spontaneous creativity, risk-taking, constant quest for the worlds within and beyond us, and combination of pianistic flair and discipline which have always sparked my imagination as a pianist, composer and piano teacher.
These great pianists arose from the tradition of the great composers, who captured the entire essence of their time and place and coupled it with their own individualistic musical language. Those have been our teachers. They established the principles, and we are here to revitalize them.
Yet our own era carries a very different flavor and energy than any other before us. Therefore it is in our hands to crystallize this time with new interpretations of the great sources and revive the poetry of classical music.”
