” I listened to a young girl play Mozart who had won a competition. She was perfection! It was horrifying for me to watch.”
A week-long stint at the Jazz Standard was the impetus for this interview of Maria Schneider by Patrick Cole for Bloomberg News. It’s fascinating to read how hearing an amazing young pianist made her realize her limitations as pianist and helped shift her direction and dedication to arranging and composing.
