Summary/Abstract: The Pianist Performer, it is a super-computerized humanoid with maximum analytical and psychological capacities, cold and calculated elite, able to play complex musical scores in front of an audience without any technical mistake or the artistic excitement of the individual musicality used to decipher and assimilate the subtle and profound musical context? Today, we are confronted with a strange dichotomy of what in the Golden Age of a past century pianism was a Vocation in itself. Paradoxically, tens of thousands of pianists are continuously licensed in extended and multidisciplinary programs in the 21st Century educational system, very few seem to be in touch with the musical interpretation of the studied repertoire. They are no longer the same teachers nor the same social context. From the written experience of past generations, from my own experience in this field, I propose some recommendations (far from been exhaustive) that I consider essential in the practice.
