"I was very surprised to see the young Vanessa at all in my class, because usually I deal with people around 18 or older. So, at first sight I had thought she had made a mistake and she thought I was going to teach her how to play the piano. I almost told her, 'well, this is not the place for you,' but I just said, 'can you play something for me?' And then she played a Mozart concerto for me. What he heard that day was more than just musical notes played perfectly. I was not amazed by the fact that she could play all the notes, because now most of those kids can do that. I was most impressed by the feeling and natural aptitude she had to understand the music she was playing. She played Debussy and Mozart and Schumann and Bach with such instinctive musicianship that it was obvious that nobody could have taught her that… From the very first minutes I heard her, I knew I was in front of some exceptional talent."
