Daniel Kramer likes to repeat the phrase of G. G. Neigauz :
"You can do whatever you want, the main thing is to be convincing." And adds:
“Persuasiveness is one of the most important secrets of art. But the word persuasiveness is the top of the pyramid, which can be reached only after passing through the fundamental structures that are craftsmanship : technique, sound knowledge, shape and carcass.
Analysis , harmony , solfeggio - these are giant pyramidal layers that taper up and lead to craftsmanship. Only then does understanding come - what is art. ”
