"I feel that music is my religion, the concert hall is my temple, and the composer is my god whose works I proclaim. I can say without exaggeration that music saved my life. [...] When I decided to dissolve the Beaux Arts Trio, I thought my concert life would gradually calm down, but I am busier than ever. It's not because I'm trying to avoid inactivity; if I'm away from the piano for more than 48 hours, I feel physically ill, as if I'm neglecting my health. It's an organic need; my fingers crave the keyboard." (Menahem Pressler) Menahem Pressler is a legendary pianist born in 1923 in Magdeburg and founder of the Beaux Arts Trio in solo concerto. He plays Beethoven's Sonata No. 31 in A flat major, Op. 110, Chopin's Mazurkas Op. 7 No. 1, Op. 7 No. 3 and Op. 17 No. 4, Debussy's Estamps, Schubert's Sonata in B flat major, D. 960 and Chopin's Nocturne No. 20 in C minor.
