"Saya punya teman baik, Rudolf Serkin, pianis, pria yang sangat sensitif. Saya berbicara dengannya suatu hari di belakang panggung setelah konser dan saya mengatakan kepadanya bahwa saya pikir dia bermain sangat sensitif hari itu. Saya berkata, "Anda tahu, banyak pianis yang brilian, mereka memukul kuncinya dengan sangat baik, tetapi entah bagaimana Anda berbeda." "Ah," katanya, "kurasa kamu tidak perlu menampar kunci. Kamu harus menarik kunci itu dengan jarimu.""

--- Andrew Wyeth

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I have a good friend, Rudolf Serkin, the pianist, a very sensitive man. I was talking to him one day backstage after a concert and I told him that I thought he had played particularly sensitively that day. I said, "You know, many pianists are brilliant, they strike the keys so well, but somehow you are different." "Ah," he said, "I don't think you should ever strike a key. You should pull the keys with your fingers."
