Interview with Jeanne Stark. She is a local pianist, in Berkeley, one of many who I think came here due to the influence of French musicians in the area.

This caught my ear

Quote
It’s not interpret. It’s understand how music is made, how it’s put together


If I understand that right, she says that you need to play it as the composer put it together, instead of making it your own?

Is this a kind of purist approach? Or is there something else behind it?

How great to see that, and hear her in her own words. I had the good fortune to get to know Jeanne some decades ago when I lived in the SF Bay Area, and she is so inspiring. i'm so happy she had this interview. Such a sensitive musician.

Also she owns a vintage (c. 1908) Mason & Hamlin concert grand that blows me away. Inspired me to look at Masons when I went piano shopping, and I ultimately bought a vintage one too.

I enjoyed watching the short video of Jeanne Stark. She has seen a lot in her 90 years!
