Hey all! Thanks so much for tuning in-- grateful for the thoughtful questions that activated Pavel's roving intellect and active imagination.
Stay tuned: I'm going to post links here to some of many interesting pieces and topics that came up during the conversation: Japanese kabuki theater, Fellini movies, Poulenc quoting Tchaikovsky, Ravel's dissolving dances, Hindemith and Brecht's "alienation effect," many Mazeppas, counts and countesses in Mozart sonatas, and how these stories deeply influence your choices at the piano.
See you next time! -
Hello everyone!
Thanks for this interesting view on an important aspect of preparing and performing music. I think it is rather essential to keep the narrative power of music in mind already during the very first steps of studying it.
To be honest: It's the 4th or 5th "Live"-recording I'm listening to and again I feel like it should be entiteld "Interview" (rather than "workshop" or "lecture" for example) as there was little structure, little clear examples, little theory or science behind this ~60 minutes interview. Some links for further information were announced 11 month ago, but still waiting for that...
Sorry, if I might sound too critical. Don't want to harm the empowering value of your work, but try to express constructive thoughts.
Thanks again and kind regards from Austria!
Milan
