Thoughts on virtuosity and music...
on: October 11, 2024, 12:23:47 AM
This video tells a story about audience critiques, virtuosity, and the perspective of a performing musician. 


Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Every recital I do I make sure I have one really hard piece to fulfill my difficulty quota to avoid dealing people like the dude she’s talking about in the video

Also I think negative comments is better than having no comments at all cause that means your music managed to evoke a response from someone so powerful they thought to talk to you after the concert to tell you why they thought you sucked lol
