Hilary Hahn speaks with composer Paul Moravec about his creative process and his life in music. Hilary premiered Moravec's piece "Blue Fiddle" in October 2011 as part of her project, "In 27 Pieces: The Hilary Hahn Encores," a collection of new short pieces by 27 contemporary composers, for acoustic violin and piano. One interview with a participating composer will be posted every month. (Apologies for low-resolution video; learning to record properly is a work in progress.)

  • That point of his at the end, about the distinction between art and entertainment - how there is a fundamental, qualitative difference between the two - was astute, well-articulated and really rang true - to me at least. As usual, everything HH said was...transcendent.

  • so beatifuold hilary..nice boice...grat talence to you hilaty...i love you!

  • Hi Hilary, thank you for the great interview. I wanted to know if you've ever interviewed Marin Alsop, and if not, would you consider doing one.

  • @Changles Agreed, he articulated his point very well.

  • @Changles

    But I think art DO start off as entertainment in some form or another. Concurrently, art also starts off as a medium to convey (religious/spiritual) messages.

  • I always enjoy the interviews. Thank you.

  • Great Videos Hilary,,,

  • Thank you, Hilary!
