“I truly believe that if they turned all the pianos in the world to firewood, he would throw himself on top of the bonfire.
We have laughed together about how I am famous, not him. But we both know that I look much prettier in a dress than he does, that I play much more photogenically.... I am a "girl," and therefore more marketable.
But I know that he is the genius, that he can take the Chopin Etudes and add a touch of magic, a spark, that makes them definitively his own. I also knew that one day the world will recognize this. And I will be happy to take second place.
I'm sure my playing has gone from strength to strength because of him.
And I adore him.
He is my piano. He is my bonfire. And if he were no longer there, I would throw myself on top of that fire willingly.”
