Extractions: Piano Proficiency Requirements for Non-Keybaord Majors Keyboard students at the University of Evansville study with highly skilled teacher-performers in the context of a small, closely-knit liberal arts institution. The low student-faculty ratio and teaching emphasis of the university give all keyboard students the benefit of close personal contact with their teachers and each other. The small size of the department-around 120 students-ensures that all students have ample opportunity to participate in master classes , weekly studio classes, weekly student recitals, a concerto competition and degree recitals. Keyboard students at UE also have the opportunity to accompany singers, instrumentalists and choirs and to participate in large and small ensembles, benefitting from frequent coachings by different faculty members. Students perform on two Bösendorfer concert grand pianos, four organs made by Holtkamp, Fisk, and Reuter and two harpsichords made by Dowd and Jones. In addition to frequent faculty solo and chamber performances, the Department of Music hosts an organ series
Steinway Hall - Dallas / Fort Worth > Concert Services Joseph Banowetz, José Feghali, alexei sultanov Sometimes a Steinway plays better than the pianist, and it is then a marvelous surprise. http://www.steinwaydallas.com/concert.php
Extractions: That you are considering bringing a Steinway into your life speaks of an appreciation of quality and a desire to enhance the pleasure you take from music. As you move forward with your decision, we invite you to apply a simple, revealing test. Sit down at the keyboard of a Steinway, bring your most loved music to mind, and play. It is the way the world's most accomplished pianists have selected their performance instruments for over a century. Their choice has been Steinway, because the quality of the sound and responsiveness of touch is simply unsurpassed. The Steinway Artists Today, more than 90 percent of the world's active concert pianists - over 1,300 artists - bear the title "Steinway Artist". Each owns a Steinway. All choose to perform on Steinway pianos exclusively. Importantly, none are paid to do so; their only inducement is the unrivaled sound and responsiveness of their Steinway pianos. Local Steinway Artists Include: Monte Hill Davis Pamela Mia Paul Tatjana Balazs Jeaneane Dowis Gustavo Romero Joseph Banowetz Alexei Sultanov Stefan Bardas Mary Mosher Humm Vladimir Viardo Fabio Bidini Andrew Litton Adam Wodnicki Robert Blocker Stephen Marq Danny Wright Evelyn Chen Yi Wu Van Cliburn John Owings For a complete list of all Steinway Artists please click here

Extractions: One of the oldest competitions in the world. Initiated by Prof. Jerzy Zurawlew in 1927 and held every five years. The 13th competition took place in 1995; the first prize was not awarded, two second prize winners (Silver Medal plus $20,000) were Philippe Giusiano (France) and Alexei Sultanov (Russia). Special prizes for the best performances of polonaises, mazurkas and concertos were not awarded. The best Polish performer was Magdalena Lisak who won the sixth prize and $4,000. The next competition will take place in 2005. The competition is usually divided into four stages. In the first stage the contestants perform one nocturne and two etudes. Forty contestants appear in the second stage to perform one of the ballades, six consecutive preludes, a waltz and a polonaise. Fifteen contestants are admitted to the third stage; their program includes a cycle of mazurkas, and one sonata. In the final stage six contestants appear performing one of Chopin's piano concertos.

Feedback He seemed to be a less bright pianist than Korchinskaya, rather a showman alexei sultanov who played like on the own concert and on the competition has http://www.mmv.ru/tchaikovsky/otziv/piano1eng.htm
Extractions: Feedback After the playing of first 24 participants we can draw conclusion that the Russian participants are objectively stronger than all foreign participants who played this day. Whether the preliminary selection has given the results or the talented foreign pianists have stopped to come to the Tchaikovsky competition? I think we should address all these questions to the Selection board that have admitted such untalented persons to take part in the competition (we havent heard performings of such a low level for a long time already). Anyway, presently our pianists show quite different performance level. In the other hand, if one would like to appraise Russian participants abstractly or compare them with each other, it is indeed possible to have this or that claim to lay to every one of them. The lack of the musical initiative and of the personal playing is the main shortcoming. Anonymous Press-center information I would like you tell about the brightest impressions of two days. As a rule we remember the best and the worst. I begin from the second ones. The playing of Firsov E. (USA), Ivanov A. (Belorusia), Erzhakovsky R.(Kazahstan), Lim Chong NG (Malaysia) was quiet outstanding. Galios from Greece is a leader in this category of amateurs (so-called). It was for the first time when I heard the whistle in the grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. He has a "typical" appearance: cross-shoes, crimson shirt and a sincere indignation. If such persons (I don't want to call them by right names) it would be better to give the possibility to take part in such prestige competition to the pupils of our musical school, they play better.

Archives Alexei Sultanov: Cliburn winner struggled with paralysis 11:09 PM CDT on Friday, July 1, 2005 By SCOTT CANTRELL / The Dallas Morning News Mr. Sultanov's physician, Dr. Edward Kramer, said the pianist died in his sleep, probably from a heart attack. "When someone has had a stroke, their chance of survival at five years is roughly 50 percent," Dr. Kramer said. "And most people don't have the complexity of the stroke situation he had, with several areas of the brain affected." Mr. Sultanov was born Aug. 7, 1969, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, then part of the Soviet Union. The son of a cellist and a violinist, he studied with the renowned teacher Lev Naumov at the Moscow Conservatory. A brilliant firebrand of a player, with a huge sound and equally huge technique, he shattered the Cliburn's reputation for rewarding "correct" pianists. "His extraordinary technique was so obvious," said Richard Rodzinski, president of the Van Cliburn Foundation. "I'll never forget the Liszt
