It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Well, no it doesn't

"I doubt that she picks any obscure pieces, sticking to the warhorse concertos."

You "doubt?" Here is a novel idea...check out what she actually has on her schedule. Just got back from seeing her play Tchaikovsky Piano concerto #2. How often have you seen that one played? You know why she is playing it? Because She_chose_to.

"The problem is, most orchestras do not have the music for lesser known composers or lesser played works in their library. So, even if a soloist wants to play the terrific Stenhammar 1st or virtuoso Rubinstein 4th or the spectacular Rufinatscha PC, chances of finding an orchestra with the music in their library is pretty close to zero."

Or maybe there just aren't that many people who want to play them. Either way, Yuja does pick her repertoire whether you believe it or not.

I doubt she is alone in that.
