My
projects can be summarized in two words: curiosity
and pleasure. Researching new methods and
new music, testing them, allowing information
to lead to an idea, to an experience. Each
word, each color, each sound, each phrase
can be a door to new worlds, rich in other
phrases, sounds, colors, words, ideas and
information. In an endless stream of sensations,
both intellectual and emotional.
In
my life as a teacher, this involves constantly
listening to each pupil in order to tap his/her
aptitudes and abilities. In my life as a pianist,
this means approaching every work as if it
were new, virgin territory. With curiosity.
With innocence.
I believe that the performer-composer relationship
is reciprocal: we need each other, we both
give and we both receive. As a performer,
I feel gratitude and responsibility towards
the composers. This leads me to feel committed
to include little-known pieces in my programs.
