This question was sent by Rob. He writes:\n\nDear Vidas,\n\nIn this mail I\u2019ll provide the answers to you questions: (that is the least I can do for the wonderful work that you and your wife do)\n\n1. What is your dream for your organ playing?\n\nMy dream of organ playing is to completely free, sit down at the organ console and play and improvise whatever I want. (my inspiration comes from people like Pierre Cochereau, Jean Langlais, Marcel Dupre, Ben van Oosten, Sophie-Veronique Cauchefer-Choplin and others).\n\n2. What are 3 most important things that are holding you back from realizing your dream?\n\n1) (Lack of) technique i.e. the idea that I am not \u201cadvanced enough\u201d to take on any organ piece\n2) the false notion that certain pieces are \u201ctoo difficult\u201d\n3) finding enough time to develop my skills\n\nIn a separate email I\u2019d like to share some feedback with you and tell you a little bit about myself if that is ok.\n\nKind regards,\nRob
