“I believe that everyone who is involved in music changes it; changes it to his purpose and joy as well as to his own limitations and possibilities. Whether you’re the player or the listener you become the builder and keeper of the tonal art at the same time. It may help us all to find the power and humility to trust.” -Jens Krüger
