Extractions: HAHN: Le Rossignol Eperdu Le bal de Béatrice and his operetta Ciboulette, sung by the very popular Yvonne Printemps. These works achieved mass appeal by responding to the popular taste of the time, but songs like and Si mes vers avaient des ailes soar with a timeless beauty that assures them a place at the pinnacle of vocal music. Clarity, distinction, articulation, lightness, spiritual elegance that leaves no room for vulgar sentimentality, all these qualities of his songs can be found in the 53 poems for piano that make up Le rossignol éperdu [The Bewildered Nightingale]. Pièces de clavecin en concert, Pièces Pittoresques Fêtes Lointaines but its spirit magnifies the quintessence of French sensibility, carefully traced throughout the four suites that compose the work. A musical love letter or intimate little encyclopedia filled with allusions and epigraphs, this work would best be read with score in hand (Heugel publisher): devotees of literature will be delighted to learn that Marcel Proust, Hahn’s alter ego, wrote about his friend, "All that I have accomplished is because of Reynaldo." Just as in Debussy’s Preludes, these epigraphs are also metaphors, hypallages and paradigms that can be interpreted ad libitum.

I listened to 17 recordings of this suddenly popular concerto, and wrote 17 quick paragraphs, with a grade attached to each one. Poor David Helfgott got an F; Vladimir Horowitz got an A, for his version with Fritz Reiner conducting. (Though a later Horowitz release, a live performance with Eugene Ormandy, only got C+.) You can read this adventure, right here on this site. Much later and by a happy coincidence I was asked to write about the concerto once again, this time for the Los Angeles Times. In fact, I was asked to defend it against critical attacks, which I was happy to do. The more I listened to it, for my Voice consumer guide, the more I loved it. And I enlisted two very articulate pianists to help me defend it Alexander Toradze, and Byron Janis.

Buying A Piano be an obstacle to the pianist or student rather than an enjoyable instrument . Count Basie, Aaron Copland, Dave Brubeck and earl wild, to name a few. http://www.baldwinpiano.com/learn/buying.html
Extractions: A: The purchase of a piano is usually a once-in-a-lifetime investment and therefore, an extremely important one. The typical piano buyer, however, is unfamiliar with materials and manufacturing methods that differentiate poor pianos from premiere pianos. In the following material, you will find answers to some of the questions most commonly asked by prospective piano purchasers. Making music should be enjoyable. The better a piano sounds and the more responsive the action, the more the player, either student or professional, will want to play it. This is especially important to a child who can become discouraged by the constant struggle with a poorly functioning older piano or a lesser quality new piano.

Extractions: Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1898, George Gershwin was the son of a Russian immigrant and the second of four children. He took his first piano lessons at the age of 12 and soon went on to study with Charles Hambitzer who introduced him to the classical repertoire and made no attempt to inhibit his interest in more popular styles. Gershwin felt at ease to freely switch from one idiom to the other and by the age of 15 he had already established himself as a well-known virtuoso improviser on Tin Pan Alley. His considerable skill led him to start making piano rolls for Perfection, initially improvising on popular songs written by other people and later on his own songs. Over the next ten years he made in all about 130 piano rolls, mastering his technique and earning a reputation as one of the best pianists of his generation. Rialto Ripples was written when Gershwin was only 18 in conjunction with fellow songwriter William Donaldson. It was his first published work for piano and prior to publication Gershwin had recorded it on a piano roll. Gershwin performed the Three Preludes for the first time in 1926. Originally there were five preludes that clearly displayed the idiom of American music and Gershwin had it in mind to write even more. However, only three of them were published as a set. The first and third are marked Allegro ben ritmato e deciso and have a Spanish flavour, whilst the second prelude, with its poignant opening melody is clearly in the blues tradition.
