TAUSIG AS TEACHER AND "THE HIGHER DEVELOPMENT." FTER a two years' stay in England I went for a further period of study to Berlin, where Tausig, who was then at the zenith of his fame, had recently opened his "School for the Higher Development of Pianoforte Playing." When I applied for admission to his classes, Ehlert, who was his second-in-command, accompanied me on my first visit to the great man, and on the way gave me some points as to Tausig's ways and disposition. I found him, as Ehlert had foretold, a nervous, over-wrought man, who was charming if he liked one, but very much the reverse if he did not. To anyone who was not in sympathy with him he was capable of being fiendishly sarcastic; his condemnation of those whom he disliked totally lacked the element of charity. On that occasion his greeting was the reverse of genial. With a shrug of his shoulders, he said, "Oh! you come from England? Well, play something." 1 went to the big Concert Grand and began with a crashing chord--and, lo and behold! a soft, muffled sound came from the instrument, instead of the crash I expected. I looked up and saw Tausig watching me with a sardonic smile. I lost my temper and went on headlong with my playing, too angry at the moment to care for Tausig or anybody else. After a while he stopped me; and, a trifle more graciously, said, "Yes, I will take you--come to my class to-morrow." I found out later that Tausig hated his practising being heard, and so had had the hammers of his piano felted so heavily as almost to kill all sound. How shall I describe Tausig to you? His character varied so with his mood that a consistent description is almost impossible. In personal appearance he was a very small, slightly-built man with very piercing, ...

Download or read book A Dictionary for the Modern Pianist written by Stephen Siek and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Dictionary for the Modern Pianist combines nearly four hundred entries covering classical and popular pianists, noted teachers, terminology germane to the piano’s construction, and major manufacturers—both familiar firms and outstanding, independent builders who have risen to the forefront in recent years. Speaking to the needs of the modern performer, it also includes entries on jazz and pop artists, digital pianos, and period instruments. As a resource for professionals and students, A Dictionary for the Modern Pianist is also accessible to more general readers, as all of its topics are presented in clear, readable expositions. Drawing on the most recent research of numerous specialists, author Stephen Siek emphasizes the piano's uniquely rich heritage, giving pianists a renewed appreciation for the famous artists and teachers who have shaped their art. Transcending simple alphabetical definitions, the dictionary’s careful attention both to legacy and detail make it an invaluable addition to any pianist’s library. Titles in the Dictionaries for the Modern Musician series offer novice and advanced musicians key information on the field of study and performance of a major instrument or instrument class. Unlike other encyclopedic works, contributions to this series focus primarily on the knowledge required by the contemporary musical student or performer. From quick definitions of confusing terms to in-depth overviews of history and tradition, the dictionaries are ideal references for students, professionals, and music lovers of all kinds.

Download or read book Practicing Music by Design written by Christopher Berg and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-06-14 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practicing Music by Design: Historic Virtuosi on Peak Performance explores pedagogical practices for achieving expert skill in performance. It is an account of the relationship between historic practices and modern research, examining the defining characteristics and applications of eight common components of practice from the perspectives of performing artists, master teachers, and scientists. The author presents research past and present designed to help musicians understand the abstract principles behind the concepts. After studying Practicing Music by Design, students and performers will be able to identify areas in their practice that prevent them from developing. The tenets articulated here are universal, not instrument-specific, borne of modern research and the methods of legendary virtuosi and teachers. Those figures discussed include: Luminaries Franz Liszt and Frederic Chopin Renowned performers Anton Rubinstein, Mark Hambourg, Ignace Paderewski, and Sergei Rachmaninoff Extraordinary teachers Theodor Leschetizky, Rafael Joseffy, Leopold Auer, Carl Flesch, and Ivan Galamian Lesser-known musicians who wrote perceptively on the subject, such as violinists Frank Thistleton, Rowsby Woof, Achille Rivarde, and Sydney Robjohns Practicing Music by Design forges old with new connections between research and practice, outlining the practice practices of some of the most virtuosic concert performers in history while ultimately addressing the question: How does all this work to make for better musicians and artists?

Download or read book The Piano in Nineteenth Century British Culture written by Susan Wollenberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of The London Pianoforte School (ed. Nicholas Temperley) twenty years ago, research has proliferated in the area of music for the piano during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and into developments in the musical life of London, for a time the centre of piano manufacturing, publishing and performance. But none has focused on the piano exclusively within Britain. The eleven chapters in this volume explore major issues surrounding the instrument, its performers and music within an expanded geographical context created by the spread of the instrument and the growth of concert touring. Topics covered include: the piano trade and how piano manufacturing affected a major provincial town; the reception of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier and Clementi's Gradus ad Parnassum during the nineteenth century; the shift from composer-pianists to pianist-interpreters in the first half of the century that triggered crucial changes in piano performance and concert structure; the growth of musical life in the peripheries outside major musical centres; the pianist as advocate for contemporary composers as well as for historical repertory; the status of British pianists both in relation to foreigners on tour in Britain and as welcomed star performers in outposts of the Empire; marketing forces that had an impact on piano sales, concerts and piano careers; leading virtuosos, writers and critics; the important role played by women pianists and the development of the recording industry, bringing the volume into the early twentieth century.
