My art is what it is. And I'm not a philosopher, I'm not a... So everything that I've got to say is in music. For me, I'm looking for absolute beauty. Beauty in the novel beauty, something that was not there before, on novelty, yes, novelty and beauty.

In this upcoming episode of the PianoPod titled, Composing with Humanity, we explore his signature works, including reminiscences of childhood and 24 études, the inspiration behind his Shereem collection, and his collaborations with legendary musicians like Vladimir Ashkenazi.

And that has got no vulgarity whatsoever, that it's all that I give, all that I could to the maximum of my ability.
