Lang Lang Interview live from Boston today:

  • "The most important part of Rachmaninoff is his phrasing."
  • "Pay attention so the emotions do not take over--especially when you are on stage. It is everyone on the stage that counts, not just you."
  • "It takes time to digest and grow with Beethoven and Mozart. You are more confident as you age with these pieces."
  • "Make sure your heart is quiet as you perform--so you can feel it beating during your performance."
  • "When you are young, it is easier to play Romantic pieces because they come out naturally."
  • "With Beethoven, you can't just use your talent to play those pieces."
  • "Technology is a great way to help children learn more about music."
