ABSTRACT
CR: A while ago you launched into an unsparing critical attack on some of your pieces for solo piano. I have to say, I find this severity consoling … Such perspicacity and humility are very brave and do you honour, all the more because they’re not often found in artists. But I hope today you’re going to make good your derelictions, as I intend to ask you about your piano concertos. It may be, as you’ve said, that the medium of solo piano doesn’t always succeed with you, pandering to a certain … innate keyboard facility, but I don’t think you have the right to be so severe towards your works for piano and orchestra.
