to ask for a second one, I would urge them to play the first one five or ten times, and then
we can talk! For me that is one of the reasons why there are so few concertos added to the
repertoire since Dutilleux. There is so much one can do with this piece, so much fine tuning
one can do. We as performers should strive for higher, not for perfection necessarily but for
musical expression. I don’t think the world needs number two, we should be very happy
and blessed that there is a number one!”
