Every time I play a Steinway, I feel as if I am placing my hands on a symbol, an icon that has shaped the history of music and accompanied generations of great performers. It is like entering into a living dialogue, an invisible line connecting all the artists who have had the opportunity to play it. In that silent exchange, the pianist discovers new expressive and creative possibilities that would be unthinkable elsewhere. For me, as a young musician, Steinway represents not only an absolute point of reference, but also a promise of the future: an instrument that preserves memory while propelling my artistic voice forward.
