CORTOT'S INTERPRETATIVE APPROACH

"Let your fingers translate your ideas -
you will then become an interpreter, not merely a performer."

POETIC RESEARCH & ANALYSIS

"Cortot said that anyone who analyses the harmony and the structure of a piece, without touching its character, becomes a post mortem surgeon -
makes an analysis to something which is already dead."
