Famous quotes containing the words piano and/or performance:

“Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody’s piano playing in my living room has to the book I am reading.”

“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
