@@davidcblock she said it was done in alphabetical order….it was taken out of context. She said Argerich comes before Arrau in the article.

[@catkeys6911]

The early parts of this video seemed a bit all over the place, but at 1:50 , to me it becomes a little like striking gold. Because Martha is saying that she's sleepy, very tired, and it seems clear that she really does not want to go out on stage and play.I certainly don't know what it feels like to be able to play like her, but I sure know what it feels like to be tired and to not want to go to work. She IS a human being. I hope she's well rested and feeling great right now.💖

[@daniels7052]

She is the greatest pianist

[@pianoman9685]

For one gifted or talented, it is easy to communicate, or say what most can say and execute this in a proficient manner, but a genius is able to say what most are unable to say this may be impossible for even the most talented person to do, because a genius has a gift spirit and self discovery and develops through listening, concentration and mental picturing to hear and evaluate one's own playing. This ability to listen to every detail of one's own playing allows that special person to pursue their own musical image, vision, or feeling whileat the same time find the suitable technical solution that satisfies what they are imagining. They form a mental map or picture leading towards their destination early on. Many great teachers and great pianists including, Liszt, Neuhaus, and even one of Martha's teachers Vincenzo Scaramuzza, thought that listening, concentrating, and mental picturing was important. For the genius realizes these things and their playing like Martha's doesn't just replicate someone else's ideas. They didn't need to waste time with the traditional way of piano teaching of meaningless exercises and studies which undermine the ability to think and listen to oneself, and for the truly talented such practice just leads to mindless repetition void of magination or mental image leading nowhere with no goal or even worse leading to physical problems. As one put it, to a genius, "technique is the art of materializing an image of what we have decided we want to hear." So, good techniqe a more process of self discovery through listening, concentrating and evaluating ones own playing which leads to developing ones individual way to play different from the usual and simetimes even courageous. Individuality in art can't really be taught it is discovered by the artist which also has open mind, spirit and not only imagines posibilities but communicates them like Martha. Martita is an enigma who must know we love and continuously think about her in the most beautiful way.

[@drrabner47]

In one of Martha’s rare interviews, the interviewer told her this. Talent does what it can. Genius does what it must. How fitting.

The Japanese journalist interviewing Martha Argerich here is the late Tetsuya Chikushi (筑紫哲也, 1935-2008), who used to refuse an interpreter despite his poor English skills. He is related to the legendary Japanese composer, Rentaro Taki (瀧廉太郎, 1879-1903) on his mother's side.
