RE: New Grisha concert video (in reply to Grisha)

quote:
ORIGINAL: Grisha When I found out it was uploaded to YouTube without notice, I immediately thought of taking it down and maybe leaving a piece or two. Should I? Fun fact: Leo Brouwer was in attendance and came up to me afterwards. This made my day! Many years ago I read a story in a leading magazine about Madame Rosina Lhevinne, the great piano teacher at Juilliard. Actually the story was also about a great pianist who had been her student--but I don't remember his name, I just remember what he had to say about his teacher. She assigned the student to attend essentially all the concerts in town given by recognized virtuoso pianists, and to report to her on them afterward. The student complied, critiquing each performance on technique, interpretation, repertoire, audience reaction, etc. After two or three concerts, Mme. Lhevinne interrupted the student as he began. "Please tell me one thing about the performance that was superb, something the artist did that was admirable." The student paused to consider, then complied. Mme. Lhevinne said, "Every time you attend a concert, I want you to tell me what it was that you liked best about it." After a few concerts, Mme. Lhevinne then explained. "The audience is there because they admire the performer. They want them to succeed. They want to love what the performer is doing. They are on his side, they are not there to note every little fault or difference of opinion." I take your word for having found imperfections in your playing. If I noted any when I listened a few days ago, I have forgotten them. I just replayed the first piece. To me it was perfect--whether you thought so or not. I really enjoyed the concert, and listened to it straight through. Perhaps if you thought over what it was that you did best, and worked to replicate that experience, it might also be as useful to you as detecting flaws and correcting them? I have been a serious listener and player of music all my life. I really liked the concert. RNJ
