Interview with Arnaldo Cohen
on: July 26, 2014, 02:54:25 AM
Hi Everyone,

Hope you're all having a wonderful summer. Our latest interview is with pianist Arnaldo Cohen, who teaches at IU (Jacobs). Here, he talks about the future of the art form, misconceptions with respect to interpretation, William Kapell (who was his teacher's teacher), and the role of critics in the balance of power.

As always, thank you all for reading :)
