I've been privileged to interview the great violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter several times, but I think this particular conversation stands as my favorite.  We enjoyed an afternoon together in Chicago and discussed her appointment as the New York Philharmonic's second-ever Artist-in-Residence for the 2010-2011 season.  She discussed her approach to the music of Mozart (and the underestimated virtuosity of his concerti), her working relationships with contemporary composers, such as Wolfgang Rihm, Sofia Gubaidulina, and Sebastian Currier and how her artistry has evolved with works that were signatures of her early career, such as the Beethoven Romances.

I'm doing! Doing, see — right now printing. With exactly these letters. But not always. With some others also. But more often with "T", "H", "I" and not least "S"! That's my occupation for all the rest of time I waist for living. Anyway herein given lexis of oath: I shall not fall asleep, until you wake up. Voila!
