COMMENTAIRE COMPLET : VOIR PREMIER COMMENTAIRE ÉPINGLÉ.
Sous le couvert de l’improvisation tout est soigneusement contrôlé et pensé. Si elles paraissent toujours spontanées, les interprétations d'Alfred Cortot sont en réalité élaborées avec minutie et reposent sur une connaissance intime de la partition elle-même, mais aussi de tout ce qui a pu entourer son écriture.

« La nationalité, l'époque, le caractère individuel de l'auteur, son degré de culture, les événements de sa vie, les milieux qu'il aura traversés, ses lectures même, l'ayant influencé dans sa création, une mise au point spéciale pour chaque œuvre, sera indispensable à l'interprète qui prétendra la faire revivre », disait ainsi Cortot à ses élèves.
