Music Quote of the Every Few Days

"My whole trick is to keep the tune well out in front. If I play Tchaikovsky, I play his melodies and skip his spiritual struggle." - Liberace

I don't know how I feel about this. Though it may be necessary to play pieces "out in front" if its not your favorite music, it sounds like he plays without caring for the music. Liberace was fairly crazy.. but it really sounds like he played for money and not for music. Or maybe the struggle is not meant to be the players problem, but the composer.
