Emanuel Ax (born 8 June 1949) is a Grammy-winning American classical pianist. He is an internationally acclaimed performer, and a teacher on the faculty of the Juilliard School.
I don't see myself as anyone very special. I think most of my pianist friends are at least as adventurous as me, and they learn a lot more repertoire. I'm very lucky to be in this profession, and I'm as curious as anyone else. But I don't think I do anything of tremendous depths in terms of research into performance practice. I spend that time practising
