Daniel Barenboim on the Art of Stealing Time

Barenboim is well-known as one of the most gifted of all musicians. But he is also one of the most articulate too. His brain almost works too fast for most of us but for those who can keep up he is an unending source of illumination. Here he is in a Beethoven Master Class talking about tempo and rubato. His analysis is very subtle and yet absolutely profound. He gets to the very heart of what makes music come alive in the hands of the greatest interpreters.
