“Listening to you play the piano goes beyond listening to excellent music because when you play, your way of playing surpasses technique and touches our soul. There are many excellent musicians, but those who, through music, can touch our soul, our core, and our feelings are very few, and you are one of those, at the top of the list, without a doubt. You make laypeople, in musical terms, appreciate classical music, for example, because your playing goes where most musicians cannot go. Congratulations on your dedication and work, and may this gift that God gave you lead you to success without you ever losing humility because this will always be the best way to eternalize your talent. It’s not every day that we have the honor of listening to real music. I take this opportunity to thank you for this wonderful experience that is simply listening to you play.”
