Starting out from pianist Frantisekk Rauch's interpretation of the Fifth Concerto for piano and orchestra, Drahomíra Vihanová unveils the artist's mysterious character and acquaints us with his immense mastery of his art. She films the different stages of interpretation — reflection, preparation, execution — in order to focus on the process of artistic research and creation.
