Some time ago, I was asked a really interesting question. Uncomfortable too : Why don’t you play Bach? I didn’t noticed this lack in my programs, and after having taken a look at my past programs, I indeed found out that Bach was reported missing. However, I’m fond of his music, and, as many pianists do, I grew up with the two books of Preludes and Fugues.

Today, I’m interrogating myself: I have often been told by young (and also old) musicians and composers: “It is necessary to please the public and play for him”, or from the composer’s point of view: “it is necessary to write the music the public wishes to listen”.
