Extractions: Franz Liszt PROGRAM NOTES All études of great composers aspire to the same condition to become serviceable concert pieces. This requires that their particular technical features be integrated within an inherently satisfying musical statement. The challenge is to provide a compositional forum which allows the technical component to be discreetly (or occasionally indiscreetly) exposed while yet musically contained. The gymnastics should not dominate, but they may charge the musical landscape. Of course Chopin and Debussy play the game most elegantly. Chopin's étude in double thirds does not conceal its awkward task (in which the violation of normal anatomical principles only adds to the charm, like those Chinese youth who walk on their hands and feet with bodies inverted and tummies on top), but displays it as refined frosting on an already substantial cake. Nevertheless, in general the purely technical aspect, however alluring, is artistically dispensable. Without it the lineaments of an attractive piece would still remain. Which should not imply that the technical device is merely plastered on, but rather it is incorporated in relatively seamless fashion within the compositional scheme. In Chopin, however, one can discern the specific technical function exploited. I. Preludio

Sherman began his studies at the age of six, and by the age of eleven, was studying with the renowned Eduard Steuermann, friend of Ferruccio Busoni and Arnold Schoenberg. A child prodigy from New York, Sherman graduated from Columbia University in Humanities at the age of fifteen and soon thereafter played solo piano with Leonard Bernsteins orchestra. Featured on National Public Radio, he has earned a reputation over the years as an interpreter of remarkable insight and imagination both in standard piano repertory and in his vigorous advocacy of contemporary music.

Russell Sherman: A Life In Music To succeed as a pianist, one s intelligence quotient should reside on * Piano Pieces by russell sherman, Farrar, Straus and Giroux (NY) 1996, 244pp. http://www.ffaire.com/sherman/sherman-wit.htm
Extractions: (excerpts from his book entitled "Piano Pieces " If you have a passion for music and the English language, "Piano Pieces" is a book for you. It is a unique autobiographical accounting of Russell Sherman's life in music, his own "transcental etudes" if you will - filtered through the prism of his superb artistic sensibilities. The thoughts and experiences of a lifetime in this most transitory of arts (because it exists in time and space only at the moment one hears it) are distilled in insights, anecdotes and aphorisms that are both delightful and deep. The book is at once cerebral (with numerous, comfortable allusions to literary, historical, and scientific figures and ideas) and down to earth. And it proves without a doubt that next to his wife of thirty-some years, pianist and teacher Wha Kyung Byun ( "Without her I would not be."
Extractions: Main W hen I last wrote on music in November I collected in my Soul Music of the Night Long with the New England Conservatory, Sherman is also a fine teacher and, for me, in Piano Pieces , his rare gift of bringing theory to practice is what makes his writing appealing. Take these elegantly, neatly styled two paragraphs on "fluid sponaneity": Heralitus said that you can never step in the same river twice, a chilling insight into the evanescence of all things. But even the flow of water abides by certain principles, an illustration of the more comforting perception that chaos itself has laws. The sponaneity of Artur Schnabel or of Thelonious Monk does not flow from unrehearsed consciousness, or because they never thought about things. It flows because they thought about things so hard and honestly that they were attuned to the puzzles and contradictions which demand a leap of faith, or play. Only from a thorough preparation which teaches all and the limitations of all can the conditions arise for inspired "accidents." Only the anguish and amusements of hard work can train one to perceive the charms of chaos, the dynamics of its properties and improprieties. One sees here that Sherman asks much of his students, and rightly so. But in such cerebration look also on what he asks of their working a "distributive tension" into their performing bodies. It reminds me of Frank Conroy's
