Why a one-handed violinist refuses to let his disability stand in the way of his dreams

Classical music is trying to survive by being faster and more technically brilliant, but that’s not the way it’s going to continue. When Beethoven wrote the Ninth Symphony, I don’t think it was played flawlessly. People’s technique wasn’t as good, yet classical music was far more relevant and popular than it is now. It’s important to embrace how we have evolved, in terms of better and better technique, and not lose sight of our humanity.
