Re: The world outside

I liked this :

"One should discover and cultivate naturalness. If you are natural, then you
can be musical. One should not exploit talent and 'musicianship', but
attempt to restore the student's relationship to naturalness. One of the
similes I use to illustrate this is that when somebody walks normally down
the street, you don't stop and say, 'Goodness, how gifted!' But if somebody
has a slight difficulty in walking, then you assume that he is not normal.
But in music, when somebody does something the natural way, you say, 'How
gifted.' Because the 'normal' person is not supposed to be musically gifted.
But musicianship consists in performing naturally. So the answer is that
everyone has the basic essentials if his heart beats and he has his
faculties. The aim should be to activate and cultivate constant
communication with one's own inner resources. "
