So I first discovered his music on BBC Radio 3, which is a very popular radio station here. And in all fairness, I probably had heard his music as an encore before at a concert or something, but, you know, didn't, didn't sort of clock. And then when I heard this piece, it was within about 5 seconds I knew immediately I have to play this music. I was like 'Who is this? What is this? I'm going to go home as soon as I get home.' Because I was in the car at the time. I said, 'As soon as I get home, I have to find out what this is.' So I went on to the listing, you know, the radio listing of what was being played, and I saw it. I was like, 'Oh my God.' And I just listened to more and more and more, and I just became completely obsessed. So that's almost 3 years ago. And then I started just by playing the first etude.
