What a humane and wonderful player/teacher! Fred Chiu delivered essentially a master class in the mind, body, heart connection, demonstrating through some difficult etudes by Chopin and a Liszt transcription of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. What made it special is his demonstration of his techniques for memorizing and psychological preparation. He cited the truism about a bumblebee not being able to fly because of its body mass; but flying anyway. Pianists should not be able to remember all the things that go into performing, but they do anyway. What a treat.
