Even Beethoven would ask it, anyway in 2016 one cannot go around wearing a sack. It would be out of place... it's as if I wore a big white wig to play. Come on.

Agreed: you don't go around, and even less so on stage, wearing a sack.

But not even in a way that the focus is blatantly on you (the performer) and not on what you are performing, perhaps even egregiously so.

Luca, respond as if the audience were composed only of men, hetero. Think that there are pieces I listen to strictly with my eyes closed

I understand the point of view.

Finally I saw the video. Well... to tell the truth I didn't see it, I just limited myself to listening.
Anyway... excellent performance!
I agree with whoever said "From a musician I only ask to play" - I add "well". The rest is secondary to me, although I still always expect appropriate attire.

P.S.: Today I finally met the great Armando in person! We also talked about this, among other things.
