Reblogged from The Cross-Eyed Pianist:
Following my recent post about tempo rubato, here is the film of BBC/ISM Masterclass with David Owen Norris, which I attended recently, and which inspired the article. One of the participating pianists, Emmanuel Vass, features in my Meet the Artist series. Read my interview with him here.
There are a lot of masterclasses out there to watch (and I've blogged about some before), but this stands alone as the first masterclass I've seen recently where the 'master' focussed on only one aspect of performance: surprise or satisfaction through effective rubato. Well worth watching :)
