Though my favorite class was Literature, I wrote nothing aside from the essays that were due the next day. Once, during a school assembly, a classmate of mine got on stage with his cello. Barely knowing what a cello was, I wasn't all that moved when he announced he'd won some big prize. Then, he played it. While I didn't really understand the music, I remember thinking, ‘Oh, this is what it means to be really good at something!' and just how extraordinary it is to be one of the best of the best. Neil Heyde was that classmate. After graduation, Neil became - and still is - a member of a world-class quartet, a recorded artist, and head of postgraduate programmes at one of the most prestigious music institutions, the Royal Academy of Music in London, which has been his home for decades now.
