In today’s episode, Sergei discusses his approach to performing technically challenging pieces.

Emphasized is the challenge of evoking an emotional response from the audience rather than impressing them with mere technical skill alone.

Sergei shares personal experiences of abandoning certain arrangements that compromise musical integrity, specifically citing his father's adaptation of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto.

Additionally, the discussion highlights notable young trumpet talents like Floris Onstwedder and Lucien Renaud Darvary, with reflections on the importance of proper musical guidance and the merit of playing original repertoire.
