It's such a thrill to be able to play any Chopin at all.

If I could play nothing else on the piano, I would be satisfied with a handful of Chopin.

They sound beautiful and they feel good under the hand. It's tactile music.

I've played all the waltzes, most of the preludes, about half of the etudes, all the scherzi, all the impromptus, one of the ballades and all the polonaises. I've only played one mazurka and one nocturne.

In my teens, he was my favorite composer.
