I am forever patterned to Chopin's waltzes by Guiomar Novaes. (Not necessarily a bad thing.) Mendelssohn: John Ogden Liszt: Kun Woo Paik Only with constant exposure to more and more and more and more different and more different performance do we shape our "own" opinions. Thanks for your blog. It's worthy of more entries. Michael PA: It’s like little ducks. We’re often “patterned” by the first thing we hear.

(Not necessarily a bad thing.)

Mendelssohn: John Ogden

Liszt: Kun Woo Paik

Only with constant exposure to more and more and more and more different and more different performance do we shape our “own” opinions.

Thanks for your blog. It’s worthy of more entries.

We're all different. I don't run after originality, because the way I think is unique, and it's my only but biggest originality. Nobody can think like me or like you. I don't want to be different, I just want to be myself, respect the composer's text and play what I hear inside me and what seems natural to me, no matter if it's different from the others or not. Anyway, it's a really hard question to answer, maybe I should write a post about this :-) Hi, Mary!

Your site looks great! I love the part announcing your trends for 2010. About records, I have been thinking a lot about this, writing about a big recording artist. Back in vinyl days you had to have a big label behind you in order to make records. Now that is changing. Do you ever find yourself as a pianist overwhelmed by all the CDs out there now? I wonder whether it makes pianists put too much emphasis on being different (as opposed to good...) Pierre-Arnaud, bonjour! Your site looks great! I love the part announcing your trends for 2010.
