english: It was oxygen. I was lucky enough to have studied at the Juilliard School in Manhattan, and to have played my debut with Zubin Mehta and the Israeli philharmonic orchestra in Tel Aviv, and it turned out that Gottfried Schlaug had studied as an organist at the Vienna Conservatory, but had given up his love for music to pursue a career in medicine. And that afternoon, I had to ask him, "How was it for you making that decision?"
non_english: Bola mojím kyslíkom. Mal som to šťatie, že som mohol študovať na „Juilliard School“ na Manhattane a tiež debutovať so Zubinom Mehtom a s Izraelským filharmonickým orchestrom v Tel Avive. Ukázalo sa, že Gottfried Schlaug študoval organ na Viedenskom konzervatóriu, ale vzdal sa svojej lásky k hudbe, aby mohol ísť za kariérou v medicíne. V to popoludnie som sa ho opýtal: „Aké to bolo, urobiť také rozhodnutie?“
