Summary/Abstract: This article aims to reiterate the question regarding the role of the performer. The external aspects of concert life can sometimes monopolize the musician’s true mission and even send it into oblivion. An artist's investigation of his own motivations in relation to the stage act and the music he plays is necessary as an exercise of constant return to his own self and of resistance against the inevitable alienation into which the “background noise” of the outside world tends to throw him.
