Now it was extraordinary a gift to have his approval of my work, and therefore, I know only the upside of it, because when you venerate someone for what he himself has achieved in music and what he represented and this kind of a relentless desire to develop, to improve, to progress, and later in life, coming to groups with music that for him was not initially natural and accessible. 

 

译文：

    我的作品能够得到他的首肯实在是天赐之福，因此，我只看到了它所带来的好处。因为如果你敬重仰慕一个人在音乐方面的造诣以及他身上那种不断追求进步、渴望精益求精、锦上添花的执着精神，在以后的生活中，你就会与音乐朝夕相伴结下孽缘，而对他来说，这并非他的初衷。
