International Piano Magazine Summer 2025 Edição anterior

The Summer issue of International Piano features the German pianist Joseph Moog, whose latest album for Naïve, ‘Belle époque’, features fin de siècle showpieces that encapsulate his love of virtuoso repertoire. Jeremy Nicholas talks to him about his passion for old-school pianism and this new project.

In our regular columns this issue, Mark Ainley introduces the legacy of Wilhelm Backhaus, while Kenneth Hamilton’s concludes his exploration of Chopin as teacher. Jonathon Brown offers a personal perspective on the qualities that old masters bring to piano playing that young virtuosos can’t always emulate. For this issue’s Repertoire Guide, Jed Distler considers the recorded history of Frederic Rzewski’s masterpiece, The People United Will Never Be Defeated!, a set of variations on a Chilean protest song, composed 50 years ago. Murray McLachlan also continues his educational ‘Nuts and Bolts’ series with another exploration of an aspect of piano technique.

There is plenty more.
