Music is the universal language. Well, if it's

00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:08.490
a universal language, we have a syntax problem

00:00:08.490 --> 00:00:10.789
because most of the people just don't understand

00:00:10.789 --> 00:00:16.030
what we do. I would say our mission as a duo

00:00:16.030 --> 00:00:18.629
is to bridge worlds and to make the world we

00:00:18.629 --> 00:00:38.530
connect to more beautiful. we come from very

00:00:38.530 --> 00:00:42.890
different cultures and the fact that we come

00:00:42.890 --> 00:00:46.229
together as a four -hand piano duo sharing one

00:00:46.229 --> 00:00:49.890
piano and we have to make things work and making

00:00:49.890 --> 00:00:53.109
music to share with people i think sends out

00:00:53.109 --> 00:00:56.710
the message that music truly connects people

00:00:56.710 --> 00:00:59.969
regardless of their background or cultures or

00:00:59.969 --> 00:01:02.909
i think the piano in particular is one of those

00:01:02.909 --> 00:01:06.120
unique instruments that has truly been able to

00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.939
bridge so many cultural barriers. This remarkable

00:01:09.939 --> 00:01:14.280
machine, 300 years of development, pieces of

00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.239
physics and art and engineering has come to be

00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.359
so beloved by so many different cultures and

00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.420
peoples around the world and that it's truly

00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:28.739
a piece of art that helps us to find a common

00:01:28.739 --> 00:01:32.680
voice. What makes a four -hand piano duo so powerful?

00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.260
intimate, and endlessly creative. In this episode,

00:01:36.379 --> 00:01:38.959
