From an interview with BR-Klassik:
‘I really wish more people would study music. Because in today’s world, we live with so much bad information; it’s really like an avalanche. And a person sitting at the piano and playing is an image that stands in complete contrast to today’s noisy and busy world. I think it would be good for societies, especially in Europe, to invest more in the dissemination of music.
‘… young people who are now coming of age at 18 have never experienced the world the way I did when I was 20. That makes me very sad. Because on the one hand, there’s such a cold technological development, but at the same time, something valuable is being lost between people. There’s a lack, and music is part of it.’
Makes a lot of sense.
