5. Why did you choose your instrument / Pourquoi avez-vous choisi cet instrument ?
As a young child who frequently attended orchestral and chamber concerts, I was intrigued with the extreme range and rich tone of the instrument.

Who is your favourite classical musician? / Quel est votre artiste (classique) préféré ?
I do not have only ONE. Some examples: Sviatoslav Richter, Mikhail Pletnev, Mstislav Rostropovich, Natalia Gutman, Mischa Maisky, Gregor Piatigorsky, Gidon Kremer, Daniil Shafran, Laurence Lesser, Truls Mork, James Ehnes, David Oistrakh, Leonid Kogan, and lots more.
