🎧 #TPPSeason5Rewind | Episode 17: Jarred Dunn & Anna Górecka

Let's take a look inside the world of the legendary composer, Henryk Gorecki, from his daughter and concert pianist, Anna Gorecka. If you've never explored Gorecki's piano works, this might just change everything.

Sure, for example. So, so I think, of course, we need to follow all these instructions. We can't play lento allegro, allegro lento, but we need to to be ourselves somehow, because we'll create some fake situation if we are not.

Yeah, and I think Gretzky's music particularly, I think about this in the Sonata and in this also Preludes, there are fermatas sometimes at the end of the movement that will allow you to spend a lot of time thinking between one movement and the next. And some performers, for example, for Sonata take only 12 minutes or 12 minutes 30 seconds. I know I took something like 13 minutes or 14, almost 14, I think. But I liked to let the fermatas live for a while. It doesn't mean the tempo— it's interesting, it doesn't mean the tempo of the allegro is slower because The Piano Pod with Yukimi Song is slower because the pianist struggles to play fast. There are moments where you want to let the sound just sit there and register in real time with your listener and give them the sensation that what they just heard, they now have time to absorb it.

So much depends on the acoustics, the amount of people, the instrument. So all these things change. So we can't just stick to one pattern and just reproduce it.

Well, thank you for sharing all these. Follow and subscribe to The Piano Pod with Yukimi Song with traditional meets innovation in classical piano.
