“You are a concert pianist. That was my life when I was twenty-two years old.”
George Antheil (1900–1959) American avant-garde composer, pianist, author and inventor
“You are twenty-two years old, trained down to the last pound like a boxer. You do not over-eat, smoke or drink and you work six to eight hours a day at a piano with a special keyboard in which the keys are so hard to press down that when you come to your concert grand at night you seem, literally, to be riding a fleecy cloud, so easy is its keyboard action. Before each concert, of course, you eat nothing at all.”
