In supplementary video footage, Trifonov discussed the role of “relaxation,” and physical “freedom” in beautiful music-making. He reiterated a practicing modality where a pianist plays a composition in “seven different emotions.”
One of my adult students and her husband joined me during the post-recital interview that took place in the private Fresno State University music studio of Professor Andreas Werz, Artistic Director, Philip Lorenz Memorial Keyboard Concerts.
Thanks once again to Andreas, Daniil, and Aviva Kirsten (video assistant) for making this interview flow smoothly.
