Welcome to my website! My introduction is this inspiring story: Spaniard Pablo de Sarasate, internationally acclaimed as the greatest violinist of the nineteenth century, was once called a genius by a famous critic. In reply to this Sarasate said, "Genius! For 37 years I've practiced 14 hours a day, and now they call me a genius."
