Ezio Bosso commuove i fan: "Quando suono il piano provo dolore, smettete di chiedermelo"

"If you love me, stop asking me to sit at the piano and play. You don't know how much this causes me pain, because I can't. I have two fingers that don't respond well anymore, and I can't give enough to the music. And when I know I can't manage an orchestra anymore, I'll stop conducting too." So said Ezio Bosso, pianist, composer, and conductor, who met with the Bari audience at the Fiera del Levante, welcomed by Puglia's governor Michele Emiliano in the Puglia Region pavilion. Today, the musician clarified on Facebook: "This is a service announcement. Let's be clear: I'm very happy because I'm doing my job as a conductor. I simply replied that I no longer perform concerts alone at the piano because I would do it worse, something I already announced two years ago," the musician explains, "but I continue to make music and better than before! I haven't retired. I'm very happy with what I do!" He then concludes: "It pains me that no matter how much I fight against exploitation, it always descends into that sensationalistic pietism, and these things would really make me retire." .  .By Gianvito Rutigliano, Subscribe to Repubblica: https://s.repubblica.it/scopridipiu .
