1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
I think authentic is actually what is convincing, what is organic.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Yes, it is. It needs to be based on research. It needs to be based on the knowledge.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
But it also needs to be authentic to the times when we are living.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
It needs to be now. Because the instrument, even if I go to the Met Museum and play on the Christofori piano,

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
I'm not playing at the monastery or the palace where I'm playing. So I'm not at that acoustic anymore.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
I'm not playing for the audience that that music was played for.

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
So the acoustics are different. The ears are different. Everything is different.

8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000
So the authenticity in its global sense is already broken.

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,000
So how am I feeling it right now and how am I transferring it to the ears right now?

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000
How organic is it? That's probably how authentic it is.

11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:03,000
The third episode of season five of The Pianopod features Dr. Haik Arsinyan,

12
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
award-winning pianist, composer, educator and scholar of Antonio Soler,

13
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
a Spanish composer who bridges the Baroque and classical eras.

14
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
In this exciting episode titled Soler in Arsinyan's World,

15
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Dr. Arsinyan shares his deep passion for Soler, an often overlooked 18th century composer

16
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
and his dedication to preserving Soler's legacy through solereworld.com.

17
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,000
We also explore his extraordinary journey from Armenia to Paris, Moscow and finally New York City

18
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,000
and how his Armenian heritage has influenced his artistry and experiences as a global concert pianist.

19
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
I probably don't like the word teaching much. I like more the word sharing.

20
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,000
What I have is yours. I'm teaching you. That's not a lie. I have this and it's yours.

21
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And I think that's the sharing that we also give to our audiences.

22
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
That's the sharing that I also give from my articles and my books.

23
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:14,000
That's the sharing that I give from my job at AGBU to my artists and to the audience that our artists are presenting.

24
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,000
That's the job that we're giving to the world presenting, sharing Armenian culture.

25
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000
That's the job as a performer of Spanish music or any other kind of music.

26
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
It's the world that we are sharing together.

27
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Dear TPP friends and listeners, don't miss this incredible opportunity to hear Haik's inspiring journey.
