00:00:01.599 --> 00:00:05.120
Through my life and through my career, the passion
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.199
never changed. It's always, of course, the music,
00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:11.980
right? But maybe the mission keeps changing a
00:00:11.980 --> 00:00:14.640
little bit through the decades of my career.
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.660
And I would say when I was younger, I was more
00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:24.739
focused in performing and performing pieces that,
00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:27.390
you know, they were not. common pieces to perform.
00:00:27.649 --> 00:00:31.149
You know, now everybody is performing unrepresented
00:00:31.149 --> 00:00:34.390
composers and so on, but I was doing this 30
00:00:34.390 --> 00:00:37.810
years ago. In our upcoming episode, Beyond Borders,
00:00:37.869 --> 00:00:40.810
from Argentina to Poland to Texas, we welcome
00:00:40.810 --> 00:00:43.170
Steinway artist and renowned piano pedagogue,
00:00:43.270 --> 00:00:47.090
Dr. Oscar Macchione. Together, we explore everything
00:00:47.090 --> 00:00:49.829
from tango as a universal concert genre within
00:00:49.829 --> 00:00:52.469
piano literature to audience engagement, artistic
00:00:52.469 --> 00:00:55.210
labels, and the dangers of preconceived ideas
00:00:55.210 --> 00:00:57.469
that continue to shape modern piano performance
00:00:57.469 --> 00:01:01.049
and pedagogy. We also discuss composers such
00:01:01.049 --> 00:01:04.030
as Karl Szymanowski and William Balcom in depth
00:01:04.030 --> 00:01:06.480
throughout the conversation. we need to go to
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.079
the communities i mean you know this is not a
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.040
new concept by the way this is a concept that
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.439
many artists many orchestras are doing i think
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.579
we just need to do it more but also we need to
00:01:18.579 --> 00:01:22.900
program accordingly to them if we change a little
00:01:22.900 --> 00:01:27.359
bit the optics of why we do what we do i think
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.319
that music classical music will always be relevant
00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:33.980
