Argerich practices after her public rehearsal. © Yu K.
"This piano piece is
written like a obbligato and very challenging for the player", she says.
Hence she always reads the score at the concert. Come to think
of it, she made
a similar remark this spring when she played the Grieg's sonata for the cello
and piano.
She says Grieg's concerto is also difficult to play while by contrast
those by Prokofiev and
Shostakovich are much easier. Other pianists including Pletnev are
said to concur
with Argerich's evaluation.
To the best of my knowledge Argerich devotes a
considerable amount of time into
her practice. She also challenges herself to the maximum level
of perfection.
She once said, "I do not detest practice itself. I just have a hard time getting
started,
you understand ? "
