Here's documentary I discovered on YouTube about Boris Berezovsky. I don't know if this is the whole thing so I am finding out more about it but in the meantime , enjoy.

It is slightly funny, the video has Boris speaking in Russian, which is dubbed over in French and then dubbed with English subtitles...I tried to listen and got lost. You have to watch, which is good in a way.

Part One


His view on Chopin is very true in my opinion, though I would not go as far as "hating" the great polish composer like Boris does in the video.

Part Two


That's some weird jazz. But the part on Music being a drug could also be just as weird, but a bit more insightful. I liked the quote, "You forget everything and devote yourself to your passion."

You never hear the Khachaturian Piano Concerto these days! at least not very often.

Part Three


There's something about that second movement that just makes you wonder...about life.

Part Four


Practicing sometimes does take a lot of discipline, especially when you know that there are occasionally more important things to worry about.

The transcription of Chopin's Revolutionary Etude for the left hand alone looks so daunting, but that is probably because my left hand isn't nearly as developed as it should be, at least in contrast to my right hand. Which is totally ironic because I am left handed.

"Music has to be heard with virtuosity before you can play it like a virtuoso." Great quote.
