Edna Golandsky
The Art of Minimizing
Once the basic movements of technique are learned, they must be minimized and combined for the technique to function at its highest level. Edna Golandsky will show how this fascinating process takes place in a series of lectures.
John Bloomfield
Pedaling: Sound, Craft, Art
Continuing a series, John Bloomfield will examine the nature of pedaled sound at the piano. He will cover topics such as the acoustical characteristics of sound sustained by the damper pedal, the control of dissonance, and textural changes.
Robert Durso
Liszt - Valle d'Obermann
In this lecture-demonstration, Robert Durso will discuss musical and historical elements of the Valle d'Obermann, then discuss technical issues and offer solutions.
Mary Moran
Liszt - Un Sospiro
Liszt's concert etude Un Sospiro contains many challenges, including tone production and balance of sound. Mary Moran will show how the musical requirements of this piece can be fulfilled when applying principles of the Taubman Approach.
