M: Miss Yamada, did you ever think that you would find yourself living and working in the western world?
W: No, not really, although I’ve always listened to recordings of great orchestras from Europe.
M: So you enjoyed classical music even when you were very young?
W: Oh, yes. I was an only child.
M: You were born in 1955, is that right?
W: Yes, I began violin lessons at school when I was 6.
M: As young as that, did you like it?
W: Oh, yes, very much.
M: When did you first play on your own? I mean, when did you give your first performance?
W: I think I was 8…? No, Nine. I just had my birthday a week before, and my father had bought me a new violin. I played a small piece at a school concert.
M: Did you know then that you would become a professional violinist?
W: Yes, I think so. I enjoy playing the violin very much, and I didn’t mind practicing, sometimes three or four hours a day.
M: And when did you first come to Europe?
W: I was very lucky. When I was fifteen, I won a scholarship to a college in Paris. That was for a three-year course.
M: How did your parents feel about that?
W: I think they were pleased and worried at the same time. It was the chance of a lifetime. But of course I would be thousands of miles from home. Anyway, I studied in Paris for three years and then went back to Tokyo.
