Making a Decision:

The pianist was fascinating both as a teacher and a musician and she decided to continue her studies with Alexander Satz.In the very same year, Satz was invited to teach at the University of Music and dramatic Arts in Graz. Thus, it occurred that Aurélie Tremblay left Paris to follow Alexander Satz to Graz. Studying with Satz tinged Aurélie Tremblay's play in the style of the Russian aesthetics endowing it with the colourful sonority of the Russian school.
