  • Tchaikovsky Competition 1982 a Diary by Peter Donohoe1
    TCHAIKOVSKY COMPETITION 1982 A DIARY BY PETER DONOHOE1 1 The footnotes in this diary are restrospective notes from 2012 – 30 years later... 08 June 1982 Recital at Charlotte Mason College in Ambleside in the British Lake District Program: Tchaikovsky Sonata 2 in G Major (1st Movement) Tchaikovsky November (from The Seasons) Tippett Sonata 2 Prokofiev Sonata 6 ---- Scriabin Etude Op65/3 Chopin Etude Op10/8 Rachmaninov Etude Tableau Op39/5 E flat Minor Bach Prelude and Fugue Book 2 No. 3 Flierkovsky – Prelude and Fugue in G minor Stravinsky Three Movements from Petrushka A very nice, but knowing guy came up to me after the concert, and said “That was a very unusual program. It is almost as if you are preparing to enter the Tchaikovsky Competition.” I asked him to keep it under his hat – it is never good for people to know in advance of your competition efforts, in case it doesn’t work out. Set off home at 11.00 p.m. The car –a Vauxhall Viva borrowed from my parents-in-law – broke down after about 10 miles of a 120 mile journey to my in-laws on the Wirral. Still in the Lake District countryside. The weather was appallingly wet. I had to get to the Wirral, and then the next morning to Manchester for an early flight to London to connect with the Aeroflot flight to Moscow. 09 June 1982 Thank God for the AA Relay service. They got me to the Wirral in the cab of one of their trucks, with the car on the back.

  • SEEKING ARTISTIC GOALS: SUGGESTIONS for PIANO STUDENTS and TEACHERS by Jiayin LI
    SEEKING ARTISTIC GOALS: SUGGESTIONS FOR PIANO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS by Jiayin LI Concert Pianist Member Precollege Piano Faculty Manhattan School of Music As a student in China, I had a great deal of exposure to the well- developed teaching methods of my home country. However, when I came to the US and began to study with Solomon Mikowsky in the doctoral program at Manhattan School of Music, I had no idea what to expect. It was an epiphany for me! In just a few years, he has taught me the most important requirements to become a good and successful piano instructor: how to listen and how to apply it into effective teaching. My added experience, first as Dr. Mikowsky’s Assistant, and then, as a member of the MSM Precollege faculty, I have developed a series of concepts that have informed my teaching. I wish to share them with the reader. Before starting on this discourse, I wish to share a selection of the great teachers of the past, included in Kookhee Hong’s “The Piano teaching legacy of Solomon Mikowsky,” where Dr. Mikowsky pays tribute to them. Just as pianists are familiar with the names of some of the most famous pianists, it is time for credit to be given to their teachers. Great teachers in the past: Alfredo Casella (Italian, 1883-1947), Marcel Ciampi (French, 1891-1980), Maria Curcio (Italian, 1918-2009), Louis Diémer (French, 1843-2019), Edwin Fischer (Swiss, 1886-1960), Sidney Foster (American, 1917-1977), Carl Friedberg (German, 1872-1955), Alexander Goldenweiser (Russian, 1865-1961), Ernest Hutcheson (Australian, 1871-1951),

STRAUSS’s Der Rosenkavalier Suite March 19–20 and 24, 2015 Music Director Alan Gilbert will lead the New York Philharmonic in Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major, with Philharmonic Artist-in-Association Inon Barnatan in his Philharmonic debut, in a program that also includes Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Nyx, Debussy’s Jeux, and R.

I think of it as a very New York piece. Ravel wrote it after Gershwin took him to hear jazz in Harlem — where I live in an apartment that used to be a speakeasy for the great jazz musicians — and you can hear the American jazz scene’s influence in this concerto. It also has extraordinary depth, and the second movement has some of the most moving music Ravel ever wrote.” The performances of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Nyx will mark the first time that a conductor other than Mr.

  • International Piano Awards for 2009, Published in the November/December 2009 Issue
    Press release For release: 3 November 2009 INTERNATIONAL PIANO AWARDS 2009 International Piano magazine announces the winners of its annual IP Awards for 2009 International Piano magazine, the British bi‐monthly journal for the piano world, announces the winners of its annual International Piano Awards for 2009, published in the November/December 2009 issue. The Fourth Awards celebrates the best piano recordings, sheet music, books and DVDs from the past twelve months. We invited our team of reviewers to submit their nominations on items in any category, released between October 2008 and November 2009. In addition to the recording, book and DVD awards, there is also Services to Music Award – voted by our editorial team, and a Readers’ Choice Award – voted by our IP readers. The full list of winners is as follows: SERVICES TO MUSIC AWARD: MARIA CURCIO This award recognises lifetime achievement, and the awardee should be someone who has made an immeasurable contribution in the fields of piano recording, piano playing, piano repertoire, piano education and other areas of piano playing. Maria Curcio was a piano teacher whose influence spread far and wide. Until her death earlier this year at the age of 89, few people outside the piano world had heard of this tiny Italian woman who gave advice to an endless stream of pianists – among them many of today’s foremost international concert artists – from her basemenet flat in north London. But within the piano world her reputation was massive. Martha Argerich, Radu Lupu, Mitsuko Uchida, Alfred Brendel, Alfredo Perl, Leon Fleisher, Anthony Goldstone, Pierre‐Laurent Aimard and Barry Douglas are just some of the pianists who benefited from her tutelage.

However, events of September 11 forced me to return home and I was able to complete the fellowship in January 2002. My aim was to investigate piano teaching techniques around the world and because of this valuable learning experience to enhance my own piano playing and teaching as a part of the Australian Music education system. I would like to acknowledge those people in Australia who made this discovery trip possible: Mrs.Patricia New, who generously sponsored my Fellowship Emeritus Professor David Tunley, Professor Roger Smalley and Prof Vincent Moleta­ highly respected referees of mine The trustees and committee members of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust who awarded me with fellowship The staff of the Trust, in particular Meg Martin who were at all times helpful and supportive My students and their parents who missed regular lessons with me My family, friends and colleagues who believed in me making this fellowship successful and beneficial.

  • Biography: Clélia Iruzun
    Biography: Clélia Iruzun With her combination of colourful Brazilian spirit and musicianship, London-based pianist Clélia Iruzun is one of the most exciting musicians to emerge onto the international scene in recent years. Clélia’s childhood was spent in the rich cultural atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro where she began playing the piano at the age of four, winning her first competition at seven and making her orchestral debut playing Grieg’s Piano Concerto at 15. At 17 Clelia won a scholarship to continue her development by studying with the highly regarded Maria Curcio in London, and then with Christopher Elton, who took her under his wing at the Royal Academy of Music where she graduated with the Recital Diploma. Later she also studied with Noretta Conci and then with Mercês de Silva Telles, who encouraged Clélia to develop her own definitive style. Her mentors have included Fou Ts’Ong, Stephen Kovacevich, and her compatriots, the great pianists Jacques Klein and Nelson Freire. Even from the early years of her career, Clélia’s stunning piano playing caught the attention of prominent musical figures such as Francisco Mignone who wrote a Suite especially for her and more recently Marlos Nobre who also dedicated a piece for her. Clélia has won many awards in Brazil and in Europe, such as the Tunbridge Wells Piano Competition in the UK, the Paloma O'Shea in Santander and Pilar Bayona in Zaragoza, Spain. Clélia Iruzun has given recitals and concerto performance all over Europe, the Americas and Asia. Her tours in China included concerts for huge audiences, including recitals at the Grand Theatre in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo and the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing.
