Maestro Sergey: Are there any piano pieces which you like best? And favourite composers? And do you have any most-respected pianists, including any pianists who have most influenced you in your musical career and your musical appreciation. And which pianists do you rate most highly today, and of all time? It would be fascinating to hear you thoughts. And which would you rate as the most difficult piece/s in the repertoire? I should imagine Liszt's 'Reminiscences de Norma' would rank high apropos technical demands?

[@sergeypiano]

Hm. My favourite composers are (perhaps apparently) Schubert and Brahms, with Rachmaninov and maybe Ravel following close. As for the favourite pianists, I'm probably not overly original, counting Rachmaninov and Gilels as my main role models, with Rachmaninov not just as a pianist but as a musician and a man. Other pianists would count many, including Richter, Yudina, Samson François, Lipatti, W. Kempf, Sofronitsky, J. Hoffmann, Sokolov, Maisenberg and many others. The most inspiring living and performing pianists for me are Sokolov, Volodos, Lupu, Freire and maybe Pletnev. As for the favourite works, there can be many. Maybe Rachmaninov's 3rd concerto, 1st sonata, B minor prelude, Brahms 3rd sonata, pieces op. 116, violin sonatas, Medtner's violin sonatas and 2nd concerto, Bartok's 2nd piano concerto... Actually, the list is rather random since I could name really many pieces by many composers. Besides, these are not ones that I listen to often, they are rather ones from which I draw inspiration when I musicise or teach, hence the list can indeed take many pages.

@@sergeypiano Thank you so much for your reply Maestro. It is such a privilege to be allowed to peek into the thoughts of a great artist like yourself. It is indeed no surprise that Schubert is first in your list, and of course Rachmaninov ranks high. And I am very happy that Gilels is prominent too, because to me he was the perfect pianist. Even though Rachmaninov is the great Romanticist, there is always a sadness in his wonderful compositions, and I believe he missed his homeland terribly. Although I am only an amateur I am so happy that I have come across your performances on you tube, because you have made me realise that even the simple pieces that I play can sound beautiful if they are played with beauty in mind. Mindfulness is the key factor. The correct phrasing and emphasis can transform a piece from merely hitting the right notes to something enjoyable. Thank you. At 71 years old I am, as it were, starting afresh and enjoying playing my regular pieces more than ever (and my next door neighbour is no longer banging on the walls!...lol). Please let me congratulate you on your very good punctuation and spelling in English, which is not your first language. God bless you.
