“Ένας αέρας ελευθερίας πνέει μέσα μου καθώς οι νότες του πιάνου ξετυλίγουν το κουβάρι της ιστορίας τους. Η εκπληκτική, ρομαντική μελωδία γεμίζει με χρώματα τον ορίζοντα και νιώθω τόσο ανάλαφρα μέσα μου. Οι επιδέξιες εναλλαγές της με συγκινούν και βγάζουν προς τα έξω όλα τα καλά μου συναισθήματα. Ο ήρεμος ρυθμός διώχνει μακριά την μελαγχολία και η αισιοδοξία επιστρέφει.”

Οι υπέροχες νότες του πιάνου με συντροφεύουν και μου κάνουν παρέα στην περιπλάνηση μου. Ο ήρεμος ρυθμός διακριτικά στέκει δίπλα μου και μου δίνει κουράγιο να συνεχίσω την αναζήτηση μου.”
