That's a bold statement.

One thing that was obvious in master classes at Northwestern was that even though he still was sighted and played only a nominal amount he was extraordinarily discerning regarding the reed performance. He'd stop, adjust the reed and play again, repeat if necessary. I'm pretty sure that during one of those "delay of games" he said, "Life is too short to play on a bad reed."

And when he did play, he sounded remarkable.
