"Music is the speech of the sound"
said master Nikolaus Harnoncourt.
Musician is a person
whose task is to convey this "speech" to the audience,
with awareness that it has to be understood.
"Classical music
is boring"
"this statement I often hear from people who don’t interact with this area of art and somehow I agree with them.
Listening to classics by a person who doesn’t know "what it says" must be an unpleasant experience.
Like a movie in a foreign language without subtitles or voice-over.
As a performer,
I rejected the polish term
"serious music"
because it does not reflect the essence of this art area that I practice. Music is variable.
Music is like our life, it consists full spectrum of emotions, from the most comic to the darkest ones.
My job is to guarantee the audience the comfort of understanding the jocularity or nostalgia of a given piece of music through appropriate lecture.
I am not afraid to reach for unusual pieces of music, film music repertoire, or also for a Toy Piano. Music, even classical is to serve entertainment.
