BUENA PARK, CA (August 1, 2003)—When the great book of distinguished pianists is written, the name of Abbey Simon will be among the volume's prominent entries. A student of the great Polish pianist Josef Hofmann (who was a student of Russian pianist Anton Rubenstein), the 81 year-old maestro is a link to the old Romantic tradition. He specializes in works of the Romantic and early twentieth-century periods, notably those by Chopin, Schumann, Rachmaninoff and Ravel. "I would never play any music that I didn't love," he notes. Simon has become synonymous with a style of virtuosity in which no aspect of the music seems too difficult. He has been described by The New York Times as a "super-virtuoso," and by another music critic as "a pianist's pianist." Described by the New York Times as a "super-virtuoso," 81-year-old Abbey Simon is a direct link to the glories of the old Romantic tradition. He embraces both the acoustic grandeur of the Yamaha CFIIIS and the technological advantages of the Yamaha Disklavier.

It replaces an aging warhorse, which has been moved to a different location in the Music Building for lighter duty. Each year since 1974, the old piano averaged around 100 performances along with hundreds of rehearsals. "The old piano was original equipment to the building, and it's the instrument which sees the most daily rehearsal and performance use," said Harold Kafer, dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts and a member of the school's piano faculty. "The piano was just simply worn out." "Generally, getting 15 years out of a performance piano is pretty good," added Paul Bauer, director of the School of Music. "The fact that we got 30 years out of it by rebuilding it 15 years ago - we had stretched it."
