You have to learn the basics of your instrument. It is like sports: if you don't have the fundamentals, you don't get very far. Natural talent will only carry you so far.
The audiences all over Europe are great. They really appreciate the music. Italy - there is such a warm spirit there. It maybe have something to do with it being on the Mediterranean. I am a little mystic about it. It is the way that people live. People don't live in a lifestyle based on competition so the stress level is not as prominent.
