Download or read book The Art of Piano Playing written by George Kochevitsky and published by Alfred Music. This book was released on 1995-11-16 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So many of the great pianists and teachers have come out of Poland and Russia (Rubinstein, Anton as well as Arthur, Leschetizky, Paderewski, the Lhevinnes, Gilels, Richter, and others), yet we know little about their methods of learning and teaching. George Kochevitsky in The Art of Piano Playing supplies some important sources of information previously unavailable in the United States. From these sources, tempered by this own thinking, Kochevitsky formulated a scientific approach that can solve most problems of piano playing and teaching. George Kochevitsky graduated in 1930 from Leningrad Conservatory and did post-graduate work at Moscow Conservatory. After coming to the U.S., he taught privately in New York City, gave a number of lectures, and wrote for various music periodicals.

Download or read book Practicing the Piano written by Marguerite Abatelli and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-11 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is a representation of the piano practice techniques utilized by the late 19th and early 20th Century pianists. Two examples of this tradition are the late Serge Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) and Sviatoslav Richter (1915-1997). Today, many excellent books for piano deal with what to practice; however, they do not address how to practice. This text fills in some of those gaps. Although there are other great pianistic traditions, this text only deals with the Russian school. These pages offer modifications which enable teachers to adapt these techniques for the beginner as well as for the more advanced piano student.
