Aside from Beethove, I'd go with Bartók or Ligeti
Musical idol now:
James Dunham, former violist of the Cleveland Quartet, Kazu Isomura, my current teacher and violist of the Tokyo quartet, and Roger Tapping, former violist of the Takacs Quartet.
How much do you practice per day?
1-2 hours individually, and 4-5 hours with the quartet (six days a week)
What motivates you to practice?
The music. I feel privileged to be able to work on and perform some of the greatest music ever written. It inspires me to meet its challenges and perform it at the highest level that I can.
Any advice for young musicians?
Listen to a lot of music. Throughout my life I have been inspired most by incredible performances and recordings
