I have been listening with great pleasure these days to Artur Rubinstein,
Henryk Szeryng, and Pierre Fournier play trios. I find in the liner
notes to Volume 73 of the Rubinstein Collection (Brahms Piano Trio No.
3 and Schubert Piano trio No. 2) Harris Goldsmith remarking of the
pianist: "He is not an intellectual, but his musical intelligence is
nonetheless a superior and governing one."
I assume that the word "intellectual" as used in the above quotation
actually means something and is not just boilerplate, but thinking
about it, I find myself uncertain what, in the context of musicianship,
"intellectual" might denote. I am certain I have seen the word used to
describe other musicians, so it must be shorthand for something, but
what?
Any ideas?
