In this case, it's easy to say "If you don't like what I play, just stay home!". Anyway, I chose this quote just to illustrate that artists are getting tired of being taught what they should play :-) I agree with you, but I think this comment has to be understood in Pollini’s own context: Whatever he plays, the concert is sold out.

It might not be for the people who go to concerts to decide what he plays, but it is for them to decide whether to go to his concert or not. But Pierre-Arnaud, you bring up interesting points. I look forward to Part 3! Something is annoying about Maurizio Pollini’s comment.
