Technique doesn\'t exist Maria Joao Pires piano

"Technique doesn't exist, the technique is something... it's how to use your body in order to produce something.. what you want to do. And This is, every moment, changing, so because it's always changing, you can't consider it  a technique. It's not of using the  body. Of course you can see dancers have a technique, musicians have a technique, but it's our words to explain it, if it is a technique, it's not good any more.   I think we approach music, and we'll see how can we be the instrument of that "

"There is one main thing that I learned with Maria Joao Pires it is

The way you play, and your approach to the music and your approach to music-making, and to composers, and to everything that is in this art, should be and, the most time, is, the perfect extension of who you are as a person"
