Heinrich Neuhaus. A life beyond music (pdf)

Description

Heinrich Neuhaus (1888-1964) was one of the most charismatic and sought after pianist-pedagogues of the twentieth century, earning a formidable reputation in the West as one of the pillars of Russian pianism through the success of his star pupils Emil Gilels and Sviatoslav Richter, and his book About the Art of Piano Playing.0Maria Razumovskaya’s ‘Heinrich Neuhaus: A Life beyond Music’ is the first critical study of this masterful artist. It explores what went on in his teaching studio but also seeks to understand the vibrant circumstances that underpinned Neuhaus’s unique outlook and approach.
