Emotions went through me that I didn't think I was capable of having. But this is especially gratifying, because I don't think anyone can understand or appreciate what this is about.

In other words, if the audience knows you're Mozart, you're not going to impress anybody by playing terrific Chopsticks. And when you're the champ, just winning isn't enough.

When you're trying to repeat, you can't enjoy each victory the way you could before.
