Αναλυτική Παρουσίαση

As soloist, master class teacher, and pianist of the world-renowned Beaux Arts Trio, Menahem Pressler can boast of four Grammy nominations, two honorary doctorates, more than 80 recordings, and lifetime achievement awards presented by France, Germany, and Israel. Former Pressler student William Brown traces the master’s pianistic development through Rudiakov, Kestenberg, Vengerova, Casadesus, Petri, and Steuermann, blending techniques and traditions derived from Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, and even J. S. Bach. Brown presents Pressler’s approach to performance and teaching, including technical exercises, principles of relaxation and total body involvement, and images to guide the pianist’s creativity toward expressive interpretation.Insights from the author’s own lessons, interviews with Pressler, and recollections of more than 100 Pressler students from the past 50 years are gathered in this text. Measure-by-measure lessons on 23 piano masterworks by among others Bach, Bartok, Debussy, and Ravel as well as transcriptions of Pressler’s fingerings, hand redistributions, practicing guidelines, musical scores, and master class performances are included.

Review

“[Brown] provides a fine reference tool for the pianists not so fortunate as to have studied with Mr. Pressler, and for those who did, a means to reflect upon and deepen their understanding of this remarkable musician.” –Joel Harrison, Artistic Director, American Pianists’ Association
