lassical pianist Arnaldo
Cohen, about to begin an
American tour with his
Detroit debut, thinks of
each solo performance as an emotional
striptease and this season takes off to
the music of Liszt, Schumann,
Chopin and Debussy.
His local recital, planned for Jan. 29
by Pro Musica, brings the instrumental-
ist to the Detroit Institute of Arts. The
main piece of the program will be Liszt's
Sonata in B Minor, which Cohen has
recorded. The Chopin works, part of a
new album to be released this year, offer

tonal contrasts and mark the 150th
anniversary of the composer's death.
"Music passes through the filter of
my personality and sensitivity — the
way I am, the way I think, the
strength of my feelings — and reaches
the public with a personal stamp,"
explains Cohen, a Brazilian-born key-
board artist living in London.
"Of course I have to have academic
preparation, a good technique and
practice and work very, very hard, but
these are just tools for me to express
the way I am. Everything that I've
experienced is part of the development
of my emotions and reflected in the
music. Any musician who's honest is
different from all others."
