Ways of freedom – supporting artistic creation

Body is the most perfect device and the most tragic obstacle (J. Reigl)

Being a concert pianist is not only extremely challenging but also requires immense dedication, discipline, and perseverance. It is a lifelong journey that demands an artist's unwavering commitment to honing their craft. Every talented musician embarks on this path with dreams of sharing their music with the world and leaving an indelible mark on the cultural landscape.

However, the road to success is never smooth and obstacle-free. Musicians, regardless of their level of skill, will inevitably encounter numerous challenges along the way. From mastering complex musical compositions to conquering stage fright and maintaining a demanding practice routine, these hurdles can be daunting and at times seem insurmountable. Musicians strive to overcome these obstacles, steadily improving their skills and unfurling their artistic voice.

No one can navigate this journey alone. Community support and guidance play a crucial role in shaping and nurturing aspiring pianists. They need the encouragement and mentorship of experienced musicians, the understanding of their peers, and the appreciation of their wider cultural community. In these shared experiences, musicians find solace, learn from one another, and grow collectively. By fostering a supportive and nurturing environment, we ensure that every musician receives the aid they deserve and avoid any potential walls that may hinder their progress.

As a society, it is our responsibility to recognize and appreciate the dedication and sacrifices made by young musicians. By providing them with the support and guidance they need, we uphold the beauty and artistry that music brings to our lives. Let us champion their journey and celebrate their accomplishments, for they enrich our culture and inspire future generations of musicians.

It is a great source of inspiration and joy for every musician to share the knowledge and experience with colleagues and the younger generations. The learning process takes place in both directions and mutually deepens the expression and understanding of artistic creation. It is crucial for musicians to embrace the journey of constant progress, recognizing that it is not just about reaching a destination, but rather about immersing oneself in a continuous process of growth.

Constant progress in skill, new expressive abilities, opening up personality and expanding musicianship are the keys to success. Every musician has a path of their own to take. Being free from overly competitive or disruptive energies, both the musicians and their public can enjoy a healthy, strong, open-minded and honourable culture of classical music that resonates with people from all walks of life.
