The first thing that comes to mind isn’t something completely tangible, but it’s nevertheless something that means more to me than many other things in life. It’s music. Music is something that I do for a living, but the only reason that I ever started doing it for a living is because it is something that I care deeply about. It is an art that I feel compelled to practice and present to people, because it’s those people for whom music was written in the first place. I also feel a deep connection to the composers of the works I perform-I feel I have a duty to them to keep their work true and alive.
