The Slow Mordent - CPE Bach, On The Mordent (pt.4.3)

When the effects of the poison of the Cage those that serve the cage have been sugar-coating and feeding you, establish themselves in your playing, when your usefulness to them is over, or your presence starts to become uncomfortable, when the time for reviewing results has come, then comes the serious talk: that practice will only get you so far, that talent is a key component, and that such talent is incredibly rare. I've seen it done by prominent piano people in videos on YouTube. You know, your best friends, when they don their pained, serious faces? Them. What they are doing is washing their hands of all responsibility and blame; that, after all their prescribed practice, you still can't play a piece from beginning to end is not down to them, is not down to what they tell you being useless, it is because of you. It is because that key component to becoming a virtuoso isn't there, namely talent. If they told the truth, if they were being sincere, they'd be admitting that it's them that failed. That the information they have fails. That you are exactly as good as what the things they tell you to do make you. That after a million more repetitions you're still going to be in the exact same position as you are now. That's how that serious talk would sound if they were being honest. It would be a mea culpa. I'd say to think about that and everything that entails. And I'd call what they do despicable. I would welcome any independent-minded person with the knowledge and capacity to be able to examine piano mastery in all its aspects, on technical, academic and artistic levels (so not the Stockholm Syndrome sufferers or the sycophants of the Cage), to judge my interpretations against any existing recordings of the same pieces by any of the Roll of Honour both alive and dead and I propose, that if they do their job properly and thoroughly, they will find my interpretations beat every last one of theirs in every conceivable category. (Btw, I do not nominate the quality of the piano in that contest.) That, far from being rivals, none of the Roll of Honour even make it into the same league as me. How great can classical music be? One thing, by escaping the Cage, would be that technical virtuosity would be the minimum possessed by everyone. Classical music would no longer be only ever about practice.
