Edna Golandsky
Notoriously Difficult Passages
Edna Golandsky provides solutions to problem passages in music that are considered to be some of the most challenging in the piano repertoire.
Mary Moran
Brahms at the Keyboard
Mary Moran will conclude her two-part series on Johannes Brahms, highlighting musical and technical elements in his Rhapsody in G Minor, Op. 79, No. 2. In addition, she will discuss stylistic issues in this hallmark piece.
Robert Durso
Exploring Beethoven's Sonata, Op. 57 (Appassionata)
Has mastering the opening trills and broken-chord passages caused anxiety about learning this piece? In this lecture/demonstration, Robert Durso examines the historical, musical, and technical elements of the Appassionata.
John Bloomfield
Sounds the Same, Feels Different
Using intermediate and advanced repertoire, John Bloomfield provides guidelines for navigating passages that sound like identical patterns, but contain hidden differences that create distinctive technical demands.
