In the dominion of pianistic art, I categorically and without reservation reject any form of intellectually inspired interpretation. This deliberate rejection is aimed at territories considered accessible only to those who present themselves as performers, cloaked in the mantle of artistic individuality. In this dim light, they unfortunately lose the true understanding of the deep-rooted intentions of the composers. Thus, an ominous transformation takes place, in which these performers, with unrestrained nonchalance, substitute the carefully cherished compositional principles for their so-called interpretative notions— notions which, as the annals of history teach us, are almost invariably inferior to the sublime insights of the original author.
Therefore, it is strongly asserted that the pianist can embrace and comprehend a musical piece according to their image and experience. However, and this is of paramount importance, this individual appreciation must always remain embedded within the sacred realm of the composer's authentic intentions. It is within this sacred periphery that the untarnished ethos of the musical creative process is anchored.
However well-intentioned, every attempt to inject subjective embellishments often only dilutes the authentic artistic epicentre. In this wandering endeavour, the risk looms of undermining its intrinsic beauty and deviating from the glorious path envisioned by the creator. From this arises an irrefutable responsibility for the performer, who must present themselves as a diligent guardian of the composer's true essence. This duty demands a respectful and meticulous interpretation that consciously serves to embody the ethereal grace envisioned by the masterful mind behind the initial creation.
This sacred quest urges us to fully immerse ourselves in the profound path the composer has traversed and commit ourselves sincerely to the rich palette of emotions and symbolism in every note and chord. Strengthened by a humble heart and a seasoned mind, we can, with unwavering dedication, unlock the intrinsic essence of the musical magnum opus. In this inseparable synergy between composer and performer, the vitality of the masterpiece is manifested, and the lofty aspiration of pianistic art is perfectly realized—the unadulterated transmission of the universal language of music in its most authentic form.
