"Coping with Pianos" "Edwin Fischer: Remembering My Teacher" "Furtwängler" "Liszt Misunderstood " "A Mozart Player Gives Himself Advice" "Notes on a Complete Recording of Beethoven's Piano Works" "Edwin Fischer: Remembering My Teacher" From E However, Fischer should be remembered not only as a solo pianist and conductor, but also as a chamber musician, song accompanist and teacher. Fischer's ensemble with Mainardi and Kulenkampff whose place was later taken by Schneiderhan reached the heights of trio playing, and as a partner of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf the master achieved the ideal fusion of simplicity and refinement. As an inspiring teacher he led two generations of young pianists 'away from the piano, and to themselves', and provided them with proper standards for their future careers. As an editor he helped to restore the Urtext of Classical masterpieces, and as a writer he formulated such memorable precepts as 'Put life into the music without doing violence to it.' Can there be a simpler formula for the task of the interpreter? All this calls to mind Alfred Cortot, as many-sided an artist as Fischer. The two masters, who had great admiration for each other, were poles apart in their repertoire; one could say that they complemented one another. Fischer was in his element in the Classic-Romantic realm of 'German' music, with Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms. Cortot was particularly happy with Chopin, with some of Liszt's works, and with French piano music. In Schumann, their spheres met. At home, as he once told me, Fischer liked to play Chopin, whereas Cortot is reported to have had a sneaking affection for Brahms.

Biography Concerts Selected Recordings Recent Releases ... "A Mozart Player Gives Himself Advice" "Notes on a Complete Recording of Beethoven's Piano Works" "Notes on a Complete Recording of Beethoven's Piano Works" From I I must begin with a qualification: this first recording of Beethoven's piano works, which I made for Vox-Turnabout between 1958 and 1964, is not entirely complete. There seemed to me little virtue in rescuing from oblivion works that are totally devoid of any touch of Beethoven's mastery and originality. It was without regret, therefore, that I omitted pieces like the deplorable Haibel Variations, which could have been written by any of Beethoven's contemporaries, as well as certain student exercises, If I mention the fact that I concluded the series at the age of thirty-four, this is not to plead for mitigation, but to acquaint the reader with a circumstance that may explain certain features of these interpretations. Nothing was further from my mind than to suppose that I could present in my recordings anything like a definitive solution of the Beethoven problem. Nor was it my intention to supply the musical illustrations to any fashionable theory of Beethoven interpretation. I just plunged into an adventure, the consequences of which I could no more foresee than could the record company that had put its trust in me. II M y work on the Beethoven series took five and a half years. One of the crosses the artist has to bear is that the date of a recording is so rarely indicated on the record sleeve. He is all too easily blamed or, almost worse, praised for interpretations that have lost some of their validity, at least as far as he himself is concerned. People expect an artist to develop, and yet they are only too ready to impale him, like an insect, on one of his renderings. The artist should have the right to identify his work with a certain phase of his development. It is only the continuous renewal of his vision either in the form of evolution or of rediscovery that can keep his music-making young.

Though his performances were not particularly historically accurate when compared to similar performances today, he did conduct concertos by the likes of Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart from the keyboard, which at the time was most unusual. His interpretations, even of Bach, were Romantically conceived, but still compelling. In he returned once again to Berlin, succeeding

Korean FISCHER, Edwin 6th Oct. 1886~24th Jan. 1960 [ a lion's velvet paws ] Based on contributed material at Classical Music , Vol.2 Sep. 1996 Corrected at July 2000 1. Curriculum Vitae [ Fischer at his young age ] The minimum technique that can support the expression a professional player want is indispensable to him. However, I think many a people tends to confuse the way and the purpose. There were some professional artists who can fulfill their aims even thought their technique was not very good ; Edwin Fischer was one of them surely. It is so sufficient as to call him maestro, because he reached the aim so beautifully. He is an artist of monaural era. He was born in Basel, Switzerland. His father played oboe in Municipal Orchestra and viola in amateur string quartet. His talent appeared at four years old when he said 'That is G' touching a note from piano. At 10 he entered Basel Conservatory, moving to Berlin and was taught by Martin Krause - Liszt's pupil and became Arrau's teacher later - at Stern Conservatory(now Berlin Conservatory). He started to teach there after graduation in 1905. Different from

Music Home BWV.552 Korean Johann Sebastian Bach's work transcripted by Ferruccio Busoni 1. On Busoni's transciptions for piano Left photo ] Busoni( Photo from Hyperion CDA 66566 Ferruccio Dante Michelangiolo Benvenuto Busoni(1866 was famous pianist and composer in his comtemporary. He published Bach's works by his transcription at Breitkopf und Härtel from 1888(at 22 years old) to 1920 for more than 30 years, which was task of his total life. He transcripted Bach's spirit to piano. If we judge him now, it's obvious that he reflected the romantic years when he had lived. But pianists have to watch how he traslated idioms of cembalo, organ, and even violin to piano. I think his translation of Chaconne(BWV.1004-5) and organ works have to be noticable. The former explicited Bach's various polyphonic lines, so Hugo Leichtentritt(famous musicologist and his first biographer) even said "It's easier to analyse this work with Busoni's transcription". And the latter used pedal very audaciously and delicately, which are indispensable to playing organ works by piano. Busoni said ; ...not believe in the legendary tradition, that Bach must be played without the pedal. While the pedal is sometimes necessary in Bach's piano works, it is absolutely essential in transcribed organ pieces... Consider, that the mixtures opened with the full organ contain the 5th and octave, or even the 3rd and 7th, of every tone struck. An approximate imitation of these tone-blendings can be obtained, on the piano, only by using the pedal.

EDWIN FISCHER: LEGACY OF A GREAT PIANIST CD-1080 (6) Add to Shopping Cart Winter 2001/2002 CLASSIC RECORD COLLECTOR . Writes critic Nalen Anthoni: "A feast of Fischer! Where, however, is the substance of the feast to be found? Not in glib, note-perfect pianism... His technique was insecure... No, the key to Fischer's contribution lies in his own intellectual and emotional response to the music he chose to play, and that shines through most of the 19 pieces in this set." Edwin Fischer (1884-1960) was a pioneering pianist-conductor of Baroque and Classical keyboard works. In his recordings he demonstrated, in the words of Dominic Gill, "a deep humanity and a luminous sense of polyphony which, for many, speak of an aqge of poetry and musicianship regrettably past." In this collection, presented with the kind cooperation of The Edwin Fischer Archive (Vienna), numerous concert performances and broadcast studio recordings are released for the first time. Fischer's playing was known for its expressive and communicative qualities. He was by no means an infallible pianist: people did not attend his recitals to hear note perfect performances (though his playing was quite accurate in his early days); they came instead to be moved. Fischer began recording for HMV in 1931 and left us many treasured recordings. Supplanting his commercial discography are numerous off-the-air performances, many of which capture Fischer in repertoire he did not otherwise record. For works that he also recorded commercially there are often significant differences between the live and studio versions. Two-thirds of the material included in this set is released here for the first time in any format; all carefully reprocessed from the best available source materials.

Initial impressions: lively interpretation, the inability to edit leads to refreshing alive-ness to the recording. (anyone ever released a truly live version of the WTC?) Tempos can sometimes be very fast. Case in point the very first in C Major he manages somehow to zip through in 1:25. Too fast. My hero van Asperen goes by in 2:49, long enough to really savor a big range of that Zell's color. But at other times he takes his time, such as the final fugue in B minor, which comes in a 6:12. During those slow passages he reminds me a bit of Tureck, yet not with her amount of serenity or reverence. A "velvety pianissimo" I've seen the touch of some of his best work described as. More than anyone, though, and take this from very early impressions, she reminds me of Hewitt, who I hold in the highest regard as a Bach pianist. She and Gould, in their own very different ways, are my favorite Bach-on-piano performers. A reviewer at Gramophone had this to say about Hewitt and Fischer: In respect of her restrained use of the sustaining pedal, her consequently clearly spoken articulation, and the resultant lucidity of musical thought, Hewitt brings to mind those still controversial recorded performances of Edwin Fischer.

17. Till Fellner Records Bach's Well Tempered Clavier Book I [by Donald Satz] Most readers have likely heard of Glenn Gould, edwin fischer, of a recordingof the WellTempered Clavier by the young Austrian pianist, Till Fellner. http://www.bach-cantatas.com/NonVocal/Klavier-WTC1-Fellner.htm

In addition to being outstanding pianists, each has recorded Bach's Well Tempered Clavier and received great praise. As a result, it is treacherous repertoire to enter. The chances that any new piano recording will compare well to the established favorites are quite low, and Till Fellner has not previously recorded any Bach at all. Therefore, he faces an immense challenge. Given that Fellner is hardly a household name, one would think that the ECM liner notes would provide a few paragraphs about this young man - one would be wrong. Absolutely nothing is said about Fellner, although there are two photographs of him at the piano. I do own a couple of Fellner discs on Erato, one of Schubert solo piano music and the other having two Beethoven Piano Concertos. I haven't heard either disc for a few years, and my memory of them is rather vague. One thing I won't have for many years is a vague recollection of Fellner's Well Tempered Clavier. His performances exhibit a well defined style informed by lean textures of pristine quality, rounded contours, subtle intensity, and exceptional detail of inner voices and overall voice interplay. Legato phrasing is emphasized, while Fellner's staccato is lightly applied. His readings tend to be very warm and affectionate, playing down the power and bite in Bach's music.

That magically warm sound is the principal attraction, and there’s some transparent playing in the Appassionata that’s a far cry from the hellbent virtuosity one expects in this work. But there are also numerous finger slips, and Fischer seems less sure of the structure, especially in the early .

Download a printable version (PDF, 15K) So a composite video such as this one is for me a veritable treasure trove, a true legacy of a large proportion of the great piano playing of the 20 th th . The video available for purchase is narrated by John Tusa, but the same program as seen on PBS several months ago was narrated by John Rubinstein, son of Arthur. I was told by the producers that since the film involved many studios from many countries, the video exists with various narrations in different languages. The small booklet enclosed with the video has a text that follows to a large extent the line of the film; it has been translated into English from an article in French. There are also commentaries by a number of pianists, conductors and managers, including Piotr Anderszewski, Daniel Barenboim, and Colin Davis. Some of these are enormously sympathetic, such as Anderszewski, or very insightful, such as Daniel Barenboim, who describes each artist in a particularly characteristic way. Cortot, for example, he describes as follows: "I think Cortot looked for the opium in music. He looked for anything that was extraordinary; he always looked for something, not sickly, but something abnormal, totally removed from reality, and far from anything that could be construed as smelling of normality."
