44. Lazar Berman, Transart Uk, Piano Until his first visit to the West, he was known only by name a pianist of incredible are heinrich neuhaus, Richter, Sofronitzky and Berman s mother. http://www.transartuk.com/berman/

LAZAR BERMAN 'A career happens if you love music. And if a career does not happen, do not worry because you still have music that you love" says Lazar Berman. His international career began relatively late: in the middle of the seventies, he finally received permission to appear in the United States for the first time. At this point, he was already a greatly admired and renowned artist in the Soviet Union and other Eastern European countries for twenty years. Until his first visit to the West, he was known only by name: a pianist of incredible technical mastery who was able to play the last movement of Chopin's B flat minor Sonata in less than fifty seconds. When Emil Gilels made his début in America, he was convinced that Richter was the only pianist better than himself. A few years later, Gilels spread the new message - he said that Lazar Berman was the best among them. But for almost two decades since his name came to the attention of the public, Berman remained a mystery. His triumphant début in the United States took place in 1976, and it proved that Berman is much more than a master of technique. Within a few months, he had become one of the most highly praised artists of the international music scene. Throughout his sold-out American tours, he captivated audiences with his musical interpretation and grand romantic style. As well as returning to the US in the following seasons, he also made his European debuts in Paris, London and other European capitals. Within a short time, he had made numerous outstanding recordings, among them the Tchaikovsky Concerto with Herbert von Karajan.

After Chopin, Liszt exhausted the technical possibilities of the Romantic piano by exploring in greater depths the paths opened up by Chopin, and further contributing his own discoveries. Both Chopin and Liszt rejected many traditional technical notions. In the technical sphere, Liszt's emphasis was to develop a high degree of mechanical perfection to enable better control of the instrument and to be free from technical obstacles.[76] He advocated that full concentration on the conception and interpretation of a work could only result from fluent technique. He instructed the young Boissier, "You see, one must not be hindered by anything, for when one desires to express all that one feels, the fingers must be so technically proficient, so supple, and must have such a combination of nuances in readiness, that the heart can stir freely, without ever being handicapped by finger obstacles."

Vladimir Viardo Born in the Caucasus Mountalns near the Black Sea, Russian pianist Vladimir Viardo traveled to Moscow at the age ot fourteen to further his musical formation. Once in the capital, he was taken to the family of Lev Naumov (Custodian of the Heinrich Neuhaus methods that are credited with producing the extraordinary twentieth-century Russian keyboard masters, Gilels and Richter), with whom he later studied at the Moscow Conservatory. During his six years of study he was tenured as a soloist by The Moscow Philharmonia, and after receiving his doctorate, went on to the position of assistant professor with Naumov at the Conservatory where he is associated to this day. Then, despite having already launched an impressive global career, Mr. Viardo's travel visa was mysteriously revoked, resulting in his virtual imprisonment behind the iron curtain for fourteen years. During his confinement he developed new horizons in artistic achievement, and enlarged his repertoire, which eventually included thirty-seven concertos. With the era of "Glasnost" and "Perestroika," Vladimir Viardo returned to public engagements in Germany and in the US, and was quickly offered a tour and recording contract with the Dallas Symphony. As Artist-In-Residence at the University of Nor1h Texas, Mr. Viardo established the Viardo Fellows Foundation, which is committed to providing musical training of the highest artistic quality.

PAGES : MEMOIRS (3/3) Svetlanov, The Pianist. The Early Years At that time, those who heard him could see the qualities that later strongly developed in his conducting. His sight reading was perfect. Svetlanov was a passionate performer of chamber and symphonic repertoire. He had a beautiful operatic baritone. Svetlanov also loved voice chamber music. His knowledge of songs and arias was extensive. Once he was introduced to Vera Alexandrovna Davydova, a star of the Bolshoi Theater. Not only did she play very important operatic roles, she also was keenly interested in art songs (not many opera singers were). I well remember Davydova’s and Svetlanov’s song recital in the Moscow Conservatory Hall, comprised entirely of the works of Yuri Alexandrovich Shaporin. I would like to say a few words about Shaporin with whom Svetlanov studied composition. Shaporin wrote remarkable, beautiful Russian music. Besides, he was a very refined person, a true Russian intellectual, educated, with the knowledge of several languages. Shaporin knew the poet Alexander Blok and set a lot of his poetry to music. The piano parts for these songs are often extremely complex and difficult. I still remember the performance of “Zaklinaniye” (Incantantion). Davydova, who was a very beautiful woman, sang this exceptionally dramatic piece — based on the poem by Pushkin, with tremendous passion. My memory of this recital is still very vivid.

KAROL SZYMANOWSKI by Neal Galanter Back to PMRC Site USC Home Page Thornton School of Music INTRODUCTION Karol Szymanowski was one Poland's most important composers after Chopin and post Second World War composers such as Lutoslawski, Penderecki, Panufnik and Gorecki. Szymanowski was a truly individula composer and a cosmopolitan man who had strong artistic aspirations in connection with his native Poland. He was born in Tymoszowka in the Ukraine, part of the former kingdom of Poland. His parents were nationalistic Poles who encouraged their five children to pursue artistic endeavors. Three of them ended up becoming musicians. Szymanowski' got his first lessons in music from his father and also from his aunt. He later studied with another relative: Gustav Neuhaus, whose son Heinrich was a very famous Russian piano pedagogue and the teacher of Emil Gilels and Sviatoslav Richter. In Berlin in 1905, Szymanowski and a few colleagues founded the 'Young Composers' Publishing Co., which promoted concerts and the publication of new Polish music. Many other famous Polish musicians such as pianist Artur Rubinstein, Harry Neuhaus supported this endeavor. Then Szymanowski began traveling and the years 1909 to 1914 took him to such places as: London, Italy, 'Vienna, Algiers, Constantine, Biskra and Tunis. In the summer of 1914 he returned to Tymoszowka and stayted there throughout the war. He largely wrote music and studied during this period and some musicologists say this was his period of greatest creativity. "Metopes" and "Masques" were written during this time. Two major piano works which are considered two of his greatest works and certainly two of his greatest contributions to the piano literature.

53. ECM He attended the Moscow Conservatory where he was one of the last students of thegreat pianist, teacher and writer heinrich neuhaus. http://www.ecmrecords.com/Background/Background_1790.php

News Artists Catalogue/Shop Tours ... About ECM “It is very important for a composition to begin with an impulse. No matter whether powerful or gentle, it should be the result of a pre-existent energy that sets the composition in motion. Then the whole can unfold step by step.” – Valentin Silvestrov In an interview with the New Yorker, Arvo Pärt recently described Valentin Silvestrov as “one of the greatest composers of our time”. These premiere recordings of “Metamusik” and “Postludium” made with Valentin Silvestrov’s participation, underline Pärt’s conviction, and emphasize the uniqueness of the Ukrainian composer’s vision. They also serve to round out a portrait of the composer first sketched with 2001’s Grammy-nominated chamber music album “leggiero, pesante”; the focus here is on “symphonic music”, yet the term seems inadequate for Silvestrov’s delicately -realized compositions - played with extraordinary restraint and fluidity by Alexei Lubimov with the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra under Dennis Russell Davies. In the CD booklet, Hans-Klaus Jungheinrich observes that “both ‘Postludium’ and ‘Metamusik’ are symphonic works with a solo part tailored specifically to the subtle magic of the pianist Alexei Lubimov. Though the piano writing is monophonic throughout, there is no singing line, but swirling cascading textures. This enables the piano to articulate itself as an individual, subjective voice, but also as the medium of a sort of alienation, as if someone were speaking, not directly, but in an aside and as if in a dream. Perhaps the unique quality of the diction derives from the communicating subject being shown at the eternal moment of self-renunciation. More than ever, the orchestral sonorities are neither counterpart nor partner in dialogue, but complement, enveloping and enfolding the pianistic monologue, giving spatial dimension to the soliloquy.”

By reference to the pedagogical literature on musical performance, discuss the concept of giftedness and the challenges a musically gifted performer might encounter in the realization of his/her potential. Definition: In addition to the difficulties encountered in evaluating the abilities of the gifted performer, the pedagogical definitions that have emerged over the years have further complicated matters. While these definitions may provide insights into the nature of giftedness they just as often reflect the historical position and personality of the writer. In his Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instruments (1753), Carl Phillip Emanual Bach describes the gifted musician as one who is inspired by intensively listening to accomplished musicians and in turn is capable of expression through "giving a stirring performance" : a view consistent with eighteenth century deference to precedent and authority. Less than a century later, Franz Liszt spoke of giftedness as an intrinsic quality of passion qualified by a meditative and reflective cast of mind; an intrinsically motivated capacity for 'natural abandonment and passion (Boissier 1831). In order to be true to his gift, Liszt, in his early twenties withdrew from active performance for two years to put himself through the painstaking process of technical and musical re-examination (Boissier 1831).

My Humble Insight Hi, I'm Yew Choong from Malaysia. I started playing piano at the age of 6. Music is unquestionably my lifelong passion - it is such a wonderful 'companion' that I cannot live without. To me, playing music on piano is considered as a mean for expressing my innermost feelings as well as revealing composers' musical thoughts. I had been ambivalent about the choice between IT (Information Technology) and music as my career since I completed my studies at secondary school. I was not entirely happy while venturing into IT field. I found myself "wandering aimlessly" during that period. My dream eventually comes true when I am allowed to study music at Sedaya College and yet offered a full scholarship to pursue a bachelor degree in performance at West Virginia University (WVU) in Jan 2001. I am so grateful that many people give me strong moral supports in achieving my dream. They are my parents, my piano professor - Dr. P'ng, the music professors from WVU, my counsellor - Mr. Sylvester and my close friends (especially those music enthusiasts from Internet) whom I highly revere. You see, it does not come by easy and all my struggles and efforts finally paid off. I strongly believe that every career has a bright future. I must say that everything you do involves a calculated risk (borrowed from Tom Cruise's quote), it is a matter of how you work towards succeed. Unfortunately, many think that having a luxurious life is a bright future. It does not guarantee happiness in your life, nor indicates that you are a successful person. That is why people are perplexed with my choice of music as a profession. They think music is such a wretched profession that it is not really potential in Eastern countries including Malaysia. That is why lucrative professions like medicine, engineering, IT etc. are among the most popular career choices. You have to trust your own abilities and know your interests, regardless of others' opinions. I lament over the fact that most youngsters succumb themselves to their parents' wishes or they tend to involve themselves in any field that would guarantee a secure life.

Next The son of a Russian mother and of a musician father who emigrated to the Ukraine from Germany, pianist Sviatoslav Richter was born near Zhitomir on 20 March 1915. He was a violinist and coach before perfecting his pianistic skills with the Moscow master teacher Heinrich Neuhaus. At the age of 19, the young accompanist/conductor made his debut in Russia, and shortly thereafter Prokofiev dedicated his Ninth Sonata to him. Richter was a legend in the West even before he finally appeared in Central Europe in the 1950s. His first U.S. concert in 1960, at New York's Carnegie Hall, was preceded by great expectations. His recordings had already caused a sensation: the most prized were his early recordings of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto and Sonata, his thunderous interpretation of Prokofiev's First Concerto, and his dazzling performances of Schumann's and Liszt's virtuoso works.

Home Contact Features Search ... Categories Categories Vocal Collection Vocal Recital Choral Music Opera ... Folk Music The Russian Piano School The Russian Piano School by Tatyana Alexeyeva More than one hundred years have passed since the birth of the Russian piano school. The past century has given us so many great names, so many geniuses. The phenomenon of the Russian piano school lives on, in spite of the storm of revolutions and social upheavals. What is it - the force of tradition, special talent, or simply a characteristic of the soul? Perhaps it is just brilliant pedagogical work which has given us this great school and its traditions. At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries both instrumental performance and pedagogical practice underwent intensive development. It is enough to recall the names of the outstanding musicians and teachers - Goldenweiser, Safonov, Siloti, Egumnov. They were highly educated people, standing at the origins of Russian pianism. Alexander Scriabin, pupil of Safonov, and Sergei Rachmaninov, pupil of Siloti, are two of the greatest names of Russian culture. They were the two great opposites - the huge, soft hands of Rachmaninov, and the tiny, delicate hands of Scriabin. How much force and richness of sound is to be found in the performances of one, and how much lightness and magical colour in the pianism of the other. It is amazing that they both met for the first time in the class of the great teacher Prof. Zverev, when they were young boys.
