International Piano Magazine July - Aug 2014 Edición anterior

Paragraph
In this issue, IP examines piano repertoire for the left hand. With over 6,000 works written for the left hand alone, concert pianists Nicholas McCarthy and Clare Hammond survey the history and importance of music for one hand; Mark Bebbington discusses a little-known left hand work by Richard Strauss ahead of a rare performance at Carnegie Hall; and IP tutor Murray McLachlan offers some tips for strengthening left hand playing. Plus, Zhang Zuo prepares for her Proms debut this summer; celebrating the centenary of Dutch pianist Cor de Groot; Ronald Brautigam nominates a quintet of recordings that have influenced his love of keyboard music; and a voyage around the mind and spirit one of music’s most universal individualists, Leoš Janáček. Also includes FREE sheet music extracts from Barbara Aren’s 40 Pieces for Left or Right, an MP3 download of Jeff Novotny's The Uninformed Security Guard, and your chance to win a box set of John Ogdon on CD.
