❶ Robert Schumann once said, “The laws of morals are those of art.”
❷ What the great man is saying here is that there is good music and bad music.
❸ The greatest music, even if it’s tragic in nature, takes us to a world higher than ours; somehow the beauty uplifts us. ❹ Bad music, on the other hand, degrades us.
❺ It’s the same with performances: a bad performance isn’t necessarily the result of incompetence.
❻ Some of the worst performances occur when the performers, no matter how accomplished, are thinking more of themselves than of the music they’re playing.
❼ These doubtful characters aren’t really listening to what the composer is saying — they’re just showing off, hoping that they’ll have a great ‘success’ with the public.
❽ The performer’s basic task is to try to understand the meaning of the music, and then to communicate it honestly to others.
