Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli
A long time ago, I wrote few lines about Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli and my fascination for this pianist. Today I propose a short video to better understand one of the things I found very interesting in his play. When speaking about pianists, we must naturally consider the direct musical result but I think the visual aspects of their playing should not be forgotten. In Michelangeli, this component is exceptional.

The pianist’s loneliness
Loneliness is an issue that quite often comes up in discussion with people who know and follow me. I work alone, I play alone, I like being alone most of the time, but isn't the feeling of loneliness heavy and suffocating? It is true that I don't meet my friends very often, I am not a big fan of mass meetings and that I avoid crowded places. But in another hand, I like chatting over the phone and mailing them.

One year to change
I know I have not written a post for a while... The recent weeks have been difficult and I had neither the desire nor time to write something. Today I'm going back to my blog after a bad flu which has left me weak and tired. As usual, I didn't want to go and see a doctor, and that did not help. But here I am, at least partly. Partly, because I'm not playing the piano seriously these days.

On rituals and lucky charms
Last week I wrote here about going on stage and I evoked the "lucky charm". Today I will focus on pre-concert rituals as well as these charms. Some do not have rituals or lucky charms, and others elaborate complex rituals which become totally obsessive. Star's whim or real necessity?
