At the beginning of the year I heard some Mozart concert by Mitsuko Uchida and I thought wouldn't it be nice to see her playing Mozart live? I heard her in Zurich (where I live) before playing Beethoven. So I checked her website and I saw that on February 9 she will play two Mozart concerts in Brescia, Italy, roughly 5 hours by train from Zurich so I got myself a ticket and travelled there. I arrived around 1pm so I went to lunch first and who did I see in the tiny restaurant I went? Mitsuko Uchida. So I went to her table and said "Frau Uchida" (she speaks perfect German) "I just arrived from Zurich. I came here just to see you tonight". She was very happy and said that she will have to make an extra effort to reward my long trip. It was an unforgettable moment for me.
