Alisa Weilerstein in conversation with Paul Katz, 2015.
Alisa Weilerstein: Evolving from Practice Room to Stage
- What are the many elements to consider as you begin the study of a new work.
- Your conception of what you want, what the work means, evolves. Search, experiment, be patient, and the music will speak more and more deeply to you.
- Communication is the goal, not perfection. To communicate, taking risk is necessary.
- Marry technique and music.
