Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.02,0:02:10.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what happened next was
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.92,0:02:14.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I entered this state of pure,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.39,0:03:47.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the piece isn't even finished yet,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.55,0:03:51.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I experienced two very contrasting characters:

Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.27,0:03:57.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I consider these two elements to be

Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.14,0:04:02.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the purity of the music makes you hear it
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.82,0:04:06.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very effectively.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.89,0:04:10.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've given a lot of children's concerts
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.23,0:04:13.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for children of seven and eight years old,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.37,0:04:17.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and whatever I play, whether it's Bach, Beethoven,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.18,0:04:18.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even Stockhausen,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.76,0:04:21.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or some jazzy music,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.75,0:04:23.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they are open to hear it,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.90,0:04:25.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really willing to listen,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.19,0:04:28.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they are comfortable doing so.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.72,0:04:30.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when classes come in

Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.70,0:04:38.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,11, 12, I felt that I sometimes already had trouble
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.55,0:04:40.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in reaching them like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.64,0:04:44.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The complexity of the music does become an issue,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.31,0:04:48.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and actually the opinions of others —
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.14,0:04:52.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,parents, friends, media — they start to count.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.82,0:04:55.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the young ones, they don't question
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.33,0:04:58.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their own opinion.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.66,0:05:05.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I do firmly believe that we can keep listening
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.35,0:05:07.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like these seven-year-old children,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.64,0:05:10.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even when growing up.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.11,0:05:12.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that is why I have played
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.26,0:05:14.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not only in the concert hall
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.60,0:05:18.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also on the street, online, in the air:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.93,0:05:21.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to feel that state of wonder,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.50,0:05:23.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to truly listen,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.68,0:05:27.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to listen without prejudice.
