Issue No 53

AVAILABLE 26 March 2010

Pianist’s February-March 2010 issue has just hit the shelves. Now we want to give you a taster of what’s in store for our next issue. Here are just some of the highlights:


Cover Story: Louis Lortie

The sensitive and imaginative Canadian pianist Louis Lortie adorns our cover. Last November he performed all of Chopin’s Etudes, one after another, at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. He talks to David Nice about these tricky and extremely important studies, and about Chopin in general. A perfect way to celebrate Chopin’s 200th anniversary year!

 

History: The Unusual Suspects

As a contrast to Chopin, we feature a lengthy article on the more ‘off-the-beaten-track’ romantic composers. With the British record label Hyperion Records having reached its 50th release from its Romantic Piano Concerto series this May, we speak to the professionals about some overlooked masters of piano composition

 

Makers & Making: Spend, spend, spend!

Let’s imagine you’ve won the lottery or have been given a good £10,000 to spend on a piano. What can you get for the money? Gez Kahan talks us through the market, from Kawais to Steinways and from uprights to grands

 

The Craft of Playing

Dame Fanny Waterman’s series on the fundamentals of piano technique continues with Chapter 4: more on ornaments, plus pedalling exercises

 

First Person

What’s our obsession with technique and trying to play as quickly as possible? Martin Prendergast questions whether we’re too obsessed with our fingers and not enough obsessed with the actual music

 

Education

We present the best of summer courses and workshops – in the UK, France, the USA and elsewhere – for you to prepare for, where you actually take part in the music making – learning, improving, and playing with other like-minded pianophiles

 

CD & Sheet Music Reviews

Marius Dawn rounds up the most recent CD releases for review, looking at the more unknown (but beautiful) piano concerto repertoire. Michael McMillan looks at some new sheet music publications: Haydn’s easiest sonatas from Wiener Urtext Edition, Recital Showstoppers from Alfred Publishing, The Essential Blues & Ragtime Collection from Faber Music, and a collection of Satie from Schott

 

40-page Pullout Scores
