This involves not only learning the instrumental technique and accurate reading of the compositions, also finding a balance between the Ideal Style and the Personal Choice of the pianist.The Ideal Style refers to the interpretation that comes closest to what the composer intended when he wrote the work. This style is ’decoded’ based on historical research, music structure’s study and an understanding of the context in which the piece was composed. Finding the balance between the ideal style and personal preference is an important challenge for any musician. To find a right balance it is important for any concert- pianist in order to master a repertoire, a music style and the context in which a particular work was created. It is also important to have a solid piano technique that enables him to effectively express interpretive intentions.
