Extractions: an ARTSJOURNAL ArtsJournal Home AJ Blog Central Main Is it telling that my suggestion that critics take one another on more often was construed by several here as advocating that critics attack one another? Why attack? I was only trying to suggest that engaging in debates might be more interesting than the detached writing that so often prevails today. It needn't be nasty. How do you keep from getting stale if you don't have opportunities to have your opinions challenged? A few here have suggested that classical music critics have narrowed their focus too much. If that's so, then wouldn't debating ideas in print broaden the field? Last week Tim Page wrote a marvelous obit of pianist Alexei Sultanov in the Washington Post that described what a polarizing player he was and giving quite a bit of context that helped explain why he inspired extreme reactions. It was the kind of context that helps you understand something about the tastes and fashion of the piano world. And it linked Sultanov to a larger narrative. There are so many performers and composers, critics are constantly having to make choices about what's important to cover. Problem is, critics often forget to explain why this artist was important to pay attention to while this other one was not. Why did Tim spend the time on Sultanov while most critics did not? His piece helps you understand why.

A native of Sunnyvale and a former high school teacher at St. Francis High School, Nakamatsu won first place in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in June 1997. He was the first American in 16 years to win first place without setting foot in a conservatory. The soft-spoken Nakamatsu gives most of the credit to his life-long piano teacher, Marina Derryberry.

Extractions: The Frederick Chopin International Piano Competition is one of the oldest events of its type in the world, and enjoys great prestige and universal renown. In the seventy years of its existence, the competition has evolved and transformed itself, altered and improved its form, and created its own extensive tradition. The initiator of the Frederick Chopin Piano Competition was Prof. Jerzy Zurawlew (1887-1980), an outstanding Polish pianist, teacher and composer. The first Chopin Competition took place on 23-30 January 1927 in the concert hall of the Warsaw Philharmonic. The next Competitions in 1932 and 1937 were also held there, at a five year interval, in accordance with the rules of the organisers. The 1942 Competition was not held owing to the Second World War, and the Competition could not be continued until several years after the war. The first postwar and the fourth International Frederick Chopin Competition took place in 1949, in the "Roma" concert hall, which is still standing in Nowogrodzka Str., the temporary home of the Warsaw Philharmonic and the Opera. The Competition became the culmination of the Chopin Year, celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the death of this great composer. The next Competition was organised six years later, in 1955. This change to the traditional five year-cycle was caused by the reconstruction of the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall, which was promoted soon afterwards to the rank of a national institution. From 1955 onwards, the Frederick Chopin International Piano Competition has been held in the National Philharmonic Hall every five years without a break.

Extractions: The International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition is one of the oldest and the most prestigious piano competition in the world, organized in Warsaw since and held every 5 years since 1955. It was founded by a Polish pianist, composer and teacher Professor Jerzy Zurawlew (1887â1980). Until the 2000 competition, the jury could opt to not award prizes. In 2000, the rules changed to require all six prizes to be awarded, and after 15 years of not awarding the First Prize, the award went to Yundi Li of China. Winners of the top prize awarded in the given year (first prize, unless otherwise noted).
Extractions: [62'32"] full-price by Johann D'Souza INKTRODUCTION. It is not uncommon for Americans to give ticker-tape parades to homecoming winning basketball teams like the Chicago Bulls or Olympic medallists; but for a pianist- that's practically unheard of. Well, that is exactly what happened to Van Cliburn, the tall Texan, when he won the First (ever) Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow in 1958. A virtual unknown on Russian soil, he was soon to be the favourite going into the finals. The Russians were shocked but not surprised for Cliburn possessed charm, charisma, stature and not forgetting good technique. Practically every major classical recording star has won a major competition, Martha Argerich - the Chopin Competition; Vladimir Ashkenazy - 2nd Tchaikovsky Competition 1962; Murray Perahia - Leeds Piano Competition; Kristian Zimmerman - Chopin Competition and the list goes on and on. In fact it is now a great belief that one needs a major competition to bolster one's career. Major competitions like the Leeds, the Arthur Rubinstein Competition, Tchaikovsky and Chopin Competitions give the winners major career breakthroughs, with engagements at various major halls and festivals, recording contracts with major labels like DG, EMI or Teldec (who can normally afford the crème de la crème). Past winners of the Van Cliburn competition in recent years have included Jose Fenghali and Alexei Sultanov.

Extractions: by Vivian Perlis Sometimes creativity and technology go hand-in-hand. And sometimes, the creative spirit outpaces the capabilities of technology. Such was the case when George Antheil wrote his now infamous The Carnegie Hall premiere in 1927, with a dozen pianists plus percussion, propellers and sirens, was a far cry from what the composer intended. That performance, which Antheil called "a three-ring circus," substituted live pianists for a group of synchronized player pianos.Player pianos with paper roles were too imprecise to meet the composer's expectations. Antheil revised the piece several times during his lifetime, but was never able to realize his original dream of synchronizing multiple mechanized pianos. Yamaha Corporation of America . The Disklavier is a computerized "hybrid" piano that offers the best of both wordsa fine acoustic piano and the ability to record and play back performances note-for-note, with its keys and pedals moving up and down, as on the classic player pianos of old. In fact, its sophisticated system of fiber-optic sensors track the movements of the piano's hammers, keys and pedals while capturing every nuance of performance in digital form, on the same 3.5-inch floppy disks used in personal computers. The result is a technological marvel that not only makes Antheil's dream possible, but also offers endless educational, entertainment, and research applications.

Extractions: FROM THE HISTORY OF THE MOSCOW PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY By L. Roschina The Society was a chief organizer of national music competitions. The first of one, won by pianist Emil Gilels, took place in 1933. It was followed by the 1st all-Russia competition of conductors in 1938. Among its prizewinners were Yevgeny Mravinsky, Natan Rakhlin, Konstantin Ivanov and Kirill Kondrashin. Then came the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945). The Society promptly formed mobile concert brigades. Teams of musicians and performers entertained solders on the fronts and in hospitals. Despite the war, concert life in the capital went its usual way. Dmitry Shostakovich later wrote in his memoirs: "I am infinitely grateful to philharmonic orchestras, musicians and singers who presented my works. I am also grateful to the Moscow public - keen and friendly listeners with a subtle feel for music. I am sure that all of my colleagues who attended the premieres of their own works in the Society would agree with me". It's impossible to enumerate all that has been done over the past years. Every decade brought new names and new orchestras - new stars appeared on the Russian musical horizon. Today, as before, the Philharmonic Society continues to unite the most talented musicians and performers, and as before, it remains faithful to its audiences, offering them the best it can give.
