George Li quotes
-
“Without technique, it doesn't matter what your ideas are; you would not be able to do what you want. It's something that you always need to work on. It's also important to never forget the feeling for the music, the imagination.”
-- George Li -
“To be honest, I don't really consider myself a prodigy. Learning the piano, I have encountered some difficulties. There are many challenges in playing and I've grown frustrated at times... But because I like to play the piano, I never thought of giving up. I was always able to overcome difficulties in pianistic techniques. Yes, there might be some 'traffic lights', but they all turned 'green'.”

“If one has to conform to a certain taste, he/she might lose his/her own individuality and imagination.

Competitions are also stages where one becomes known to the public.”
