My art is what it is, and I'm not a philosopher, I'm not a— so everything that I've got to say is in music. For me, I'm looking for absolute beauty, but beauty in the novel beauty, something that was not there before, on novelty. Yes, novelty and beauty.

And piano is an instrument that has got both. So it's got high twinkly sounds that are like out of another world and peacefulness. And I mean, you can imagine where— I mean, you've got a lot of them in my music for piano, and that you find this type of sound in Mozart. You think about The Piano Pod with these things that are high on the right hand and just like a dream. You also have the power on the bases on the drama piano creates as well. And my music, I think that for me, contrast is essence of art and the essence of life in general. And so I love the piano because of that. But when I write music, I want to write— every time that I, I go and I work on my piece, I want to write something that is the most beautiful that I can possibly do. And that it's got no vulgarity whatsoever, that it's all that I give, all that I could to the maximum of my ability.
