Ahead of Steven Osborne's Wigmore Hall recital tonight, which includes his own improvisations and jazz transcriptions alongside Debussy, Schumann, Bauer, Rzewski and Meredith Monk, he talks about his approach to performing and the importance of helping students find their own voice: ‘I love the sense of the silence and space, and the connection with the audience – the feeling that we’re all sharing some kind of experience. This naturally happens when you feel a conviction about the music. I’m fascinated by the question of what is happening when you have that magic at a concert.’ ‘If you’re not putting yourself into the music, all you have is the rhythm and notes on the page. You could just present a midi file. If the only point is to do what the composer wants, it could be you or anyone playing. It seems to me a fake humility. To give up your natural instinct about a piece because you think the composer wants something else is pointless. Why are you playing it if you’re not invested in it? The fundamental thing we’re trying to do is communicate something to the audience, and you can’t communicate something you don’t feel deeply.’ ‘Sometimes I get self-conscious about wrong notes, but over the years I’ve got better at not getting too distracted by that kind of thing, and just returning my attention to the music. In the end, the little flaws are so much more significant to the performer than the audience.’ ‘Students sometimes wait for a teacher to tell them how to play the music and sadly teachers are often quite happy to do so. The first thing is to sing the music, because your voice and breathing tell you something immediately. It’s also about paying attention to how the music makes you feel in your body: light, heavy, solid, happy, sad, what? One can think in terms of images and stories, but it’s about feeling the music instinctively as much as thinking about it.’ Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/ePcpVNvU #interview #piano #pianists #classicalmusic #artsmarketing

I have long been intrigued by the interplay between perception, reality, and truth, the three pillars of cognitive life. Music, too, has its pillars: melody, harmony, and rhythm. In a world where maintaining connections is a constant struggle, how would you relate these two trinities? https://lnkd.in/ek_YcDyM

There's an excellent series of posts from Global Round Table Leadership that discuss exactly this concept, with incredible how-to's: https://lnkd.in/eNY3a8nx #leadership #jazz #peoplemanagement #peopleandculture #copywriting
In jazz, there's no script: You have to figure things out as you go along. Sometimes you need to sit back and let others drive things; other times, you blare it out yourself. To do the right thing at the right moment you need to really listen to the people you're playing with so that you can understand where they're going. All great creative collaboration should feel the same way. Combining your different skills like different instruments, improvising creatively, and at the same time subordinating yourself to the goals of the group leads to playing great music together. But it's important to keep in mind what number of collaborators will play well together: A talented duo can improvise beautifully, as can a trio or quartet. But gather ten musicians and no matter how talented they are, it's probably going to be too many unless they're carefully orchestrated. #principleoftheday
