The Problem of Musical Interpretation: Dissonances between the composer and his work, the performer and the audience

by Aquiles Delle Vigne

Saying Franz Liszt's name catches a pianist's attention like a magical magnet. He represents everything an instrumentalist could desire. Arnold Schoenberg, like Liszt, created a whole system based on his immense culture and incredible science. They are the great stars of these writings. While having opposing views in several matters, they shared a paradoxical convergence: the love for their art. But the major stars of this book are the young pianists of today. And Music as well, by continually trying, in a generous and selfless way, to be loved by them, the young who very often seem lost. This book illustrates nearly 150 years of piano and its culture. Are we facing a crisis in knowledge and in art in general, in which the golden age of the instrument has already been left behind? The author refuses to accept this and devotes his life to developing these young people all around the world, with indefatigable optimism, in order to show them possible, yet difficult, paths of a mission where compromising one's ideals is not an option.
