"I think that if you want to be convincing when you are performing, whatever piece of music, that piece of music, from a certain moment, has not to be written in the score anymore. It has to be written into your heart," says Pianist and music professor, Igor Cognolato. Igor is talking about his love for performing the works of composer Robert Schumann and also how Franz Liszt was able to transform the piano into an orchestra. He also talks about his role as a music professor and how important teaching is for him as a performer. Hear more about the wonderful story of how his first piano teacher inspired his passion for playing the piano and also his wishes for the future. Igor's shout out goes to Trattoria Storica in Venice
