So there is a basic honesty of skill and craft that you learn. But also what I learned from music was that it required a kind of emotional integrity. Playing music required a kind of emotional self-examination, or at least knowing exactly what your internal life is in relation to the music. That was a valuable moral education. Also in the sense of discipline.
Music just requires a great deal of discipline.
So all of these came together in that music. Yes, all of them came together in the music. Music, I think, really is the most expressive of the arts. And it was very much valued in the Polish culture also, I should say. So that was a kind of great encouragement as well.
