Podría parecer que se trata de habilidades diferentes, pero no creo que sea cierto: tanto si tocas a Ives como a Bach o a Beethoven, debes aportar la misma imaginación, la misma sensibilidad y la capacidad de enfrentarte al mismo tipo de problemas musicales. El método de mi locura es seguir insistiendo en esta idea.
