Artistic Journeys of our Faculty
“The great artists of the world care about the very first note until the last note of a movement - you are like an actor, you need to be in the role and your tension needs to be maintained, and the emotional and logical attachment needs to be present from the first to last note.”
““These days, the technical level of individual playing has increased dramatically. Everyone can play really well. They have a good command of the instrument. If a person plays dazzling well but doesn’t have his story, personality, and communication in his playing, in other words, if he doesn’t talk to me musically, I will say no.”
“The music should help you in performance—that’s why I learn the score so well. When I play a concerto, I don’t just play my own music. I play the score. You have to concentrate on the whole thing, including all the other parts.”
