- The Schedule of this festival (quoted from the program) -

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to read many articles and reviews on music events. Unfortunately, there are not that many that are impressive. The one written by Mr. Sacho Moroishi for the program for Argerich Music Festival in Beppu 2001 is not only accurate, but written with a beautiful passage showing the true spirit of the event. With the writer’s permission, here is a reprint from the program.
