Quote

“You don't have to be a fully trained musician to be 'allowed' to play a quartet. That's an old-fashioned idea, if you may. With sensible, fundamentally musical people, there is immediately huge 'musical potential'. I just believe that there is still so much to get out of the pedagogical area of ​​chamber music beyond the test-tube string quartet breeding and a completely maddened perfectionism. "
