A little bit of fear means you are doing something worth doing--you are stretching...You are going outside your immediate grasp.
Yanni
It’s really strange, but they speak to me — the notes and the chords. So when I hear other people’s music, I can feel the composer. Whoever created that, I can see in their soul.
Yanni
My father taught me that one of the most important abilities in life is to be able to take the pain and persevere, and for years this lesson had served me well.
