He noted that he had attended concerts by other pianists who were playing with what he considered incorrect technique. But then he realized that they seemed to be getting the results they wanted and the music actually sounded fine. So Ashkenazy told the interviewer that he began to ask himself, "Who am I to say that they played with the wrong technique?". ;-)I was actually impressed with Ashkenazy's humility in telling that little story.
