Hi Soheil, thanks for doing this AMA and congratulations on your impressive career at such a young age!

I'm currently a violist studying in Vienna on exchange. A couple of questions:

• What motivates you to practice? What makes you get up in the morning open that piano lid and play scales?

• Do you believe it is healthy to compare yourself against others?

• Controversial- beta blockers- yay or nay?

• Any pre-concert rituals you go though?

:)

No pre-concert fap? :P (heard about people doing those before auditions!)

Anyway thanks for your great answers! Really interesting and inspiring to hear personal answers from people who have "made it" :)
