Don't try to make the music beautiful - it is beautiful; just let it out.
You can't think the music when you perform - you've got to allow it to happen.
Sophia Rosoff, principle inheritor of Abby Whiteside's legacy and president of the Abby Whiteside Foundation, has inspired a new generation of performers and teachers.
