The moment when you knew you wanted to be a musician:<\/strong><\/p>\n

After seeing the film The Pianist.<\/p>\n

An important skill for a career in music that does not have anything to do with an instrument or making music:<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many things that qualify more as personality traits, which can be mutable (though usually not). But in terms of actual skills, I would say learning how to manage money, and learning about the audio\/video recording process.<\/p>\n

Two ways you stay motivated:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Listening to my favorite pieces of music or favorite musicians & reading a piece I love but have never studied.<\/p>\n

Latest Project<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The Brahms Age \u2013<\/em> the complete Violin Sonatas of Johannes Brahms played on historical instruments (h\u00e4nssler Classic, HC22081) coming out this summer.<\/p>\n

What inspired it:<\/strong><\/p>\n

My enduring connection and aptitude for the music of Brahms is inspired by his unique fusion intense and sensitive romanticism, which provides a vehicle to exhibit the expressive abilities of the violin, and his Bach-influenced architecture that transcends the violin.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s on it:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Myself and Constantine Finehouse<\/p>\n
