Great Pianists' Technique: Glissando
A collection of memorable glissandos from great pianists past and present. It is easier to take a more comprehensive view with such a specific musical element, but nonetheless many other examples (Liszt Mephisto, de Falla Danza del terror, Glissando Mazurkas by Bohm & Lecuona and Bowen Study Op.46 No.5 etc. etc....) have regrettably had to be jettisoned. Since playing a glissando is more a visual gesture (and act of faith in your piano!) rather than a "proper technique" I have included some video footage.

Pianists include: Mei- Ting Sun, Rachel Naomi Kudo, Esther Park, Sean Kennard
Pianist Ivan Ilić performs Leopold Godowsky's 'Chopin Study' no. 2 (based on Etude Opus 10 #1)
This is a video of Léopold Godowsky's diabolically difficult transcription of Frédéric Chopin's étude Opus 10 #1, for the left hand alone, performed by pianist Ivan Ilić. The Composer Léopold Godowsky was among the most famous performers of his generation, and his technical facility was considered to be unequaled among his peers. As a result, his motives for writing the études are frequently misunderstood: many listeners mistakenly see these pieces as musical vehicles for showing off. However, there is an overwhelming amount of documentation that suggests that Godowsky was not a showman but a perfectionist who created these works for his own self-improvement. In one of his letters he laments: "Music [...] is a life of sacrifice, hardship, struggle, misunderstanding and misery. Sensationalism and charlatanism hold the center of the stage. Idealism, altruism, and self-effacement in art, as in life, result in misunderstanding and inappreciation, in a vain fight against selfishness, ignorance, and brutality." [Excerpt from "Godowsky - The Pianists' Pianist," an outstanding biography by Jeremy Nicholas] The most convincing evidence for Godowsky's altruistic, laudable motives is the music itself: its refinement of detail, reminiscent of the writing of Johannes Brahms on the page, is the work of a patient and exacting master. Just as Godowsky's performing and teaching aesthetics were unequivocally Apollonian, the most effective interpretations of his works are sober and elegant ...
I Remember Jaki Byard - Pianist and Composer
Pianist Jaki Byard from April of 1985. Interview conducted by Dr. Thom Horning, and Bill Anderson of WRUW radio in Cleveland. From the compilation, Tri-C Jazz Fest Cleveland, 30th Anniversary Collection, Willard Jenkins, Producer. Jaki (John) Byard (June 15, 1922 in Worcester, Massachusetts -- February 11, 1999 in New York City) was an American jazz pianist and composer who also played trumpet and saxophone, among several other instruments. He was noteworthy for his eclectic style, incorporating everything from ragtime and stride to free jazz. In describing his contribution to the Phil Woods album Musique du Bois, National Public Radio described him as "one of the most compelling and versatile pianists in jazz". Byard began playing professionally at the age of 15. After serving in World War II he toured with Earl Bostic in the late 1940s, and, by now based in Boston, made his recording debut with Charlie Mariano in 1951. Later, he was a member of the bands of Herb Pomeroy (1952-55, recording in 1957) and Maynard Ferguson (1959-62). Moving to New York, Byard recorded extensively with Charles Mingus in the periods 1962 to 1964 and 1970, touring Europe with him in 1964. He also made important recordings as a sideman with Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin and Sam Rivers. As a leader, he recorded a string of albums for the Prestige label during the 1960s. He fronted an occasional big band, the Apollo Stompers. He taught at the New England Conservatory, Manhattan School of Music, Hartt ...
Great Pianists' Technique: Chords
A collection of some great moments in chord-playing. Given the severe time constraint, the collection clearly cannot be complete. I consciously left out pieces like Petrushka, Islamey, Harmonies du soir, Prokofiev 3rd sonata and...and...; other important omissions are probably due to local amnesia... 1) Rachmaninov Piano Sonata No.1 (first mov.), Ogdon (1968); 2) Albeniz El Corpus Christi en Sevilla, Arrau (1947) 0:23; 3) Liszt Transcendental Etude No.2 (two fragments), Berman live (1976) 1:18; (complete performance: www.youtube.com 4) Liszt Transcendental Etude No.8, Berman live (1976) 1:56; (complete performance: www.youtube.com 5) Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.3 (Cadenza), Berman live (1977) 2:26; 6) Liszt Tarantella (From Venezia e Napoli), Hofmann (1916) 3:35; (...and one should note that by this date Steinway&Sons had NOT yet built his piano with narrower keys...) 7) Lully-Godowsky Gigue (No.12 of Godowsky's Renaisance suite), Gilels (1935) 4:04; (Here the ability of Gilels to play any sort of chords/jumps without slowing down or reducing the dynamics is simply phenomenal. To properly gauge Gilels' virtuosity here one should listen to Barere's recording: Final score Emil-Simon 3-0) 8) Schumann Symphonic Etude IX (Presto Possibile), Anda (1943) 4:31; 9) Strauss-Godowsky Die Fledermaus, Fiorentino live (1994) 4:42; 10) Alkan Symphony for Solo Piano, Hamelin (2000) 5:16; 11) Alkan Concerto for Solo Piano, Ogdon (1972) 6:19; 12) Alkan Concerto for Solo Piano, Hamelin ...
Great Pianists' Technique: Repeated Notes
A collection of some memorable moments in repeated note-playing. This video can also be seen as a hymn of gratitude to Sebastien Erard for inventing the double escapement. And since Liszt greatly admired Erard's pianos it will not come as a surprise that most of the examples in this collection are Liszt's (we should perhaps blame Chopin for using the stiffer Pleyel's pianos :-) ). It is a really sad fact of life that 15 min. is such a short unit of time and regrettably many other interesting excerpts (like Chopin Etude op.10/7) were left out. This is NOT meant to be a comprehensive catalogue of all repeated notes appearing in piano literature. 1) Moszkowski Caprice Espagnol Hofmann (1916); (The eternal question of "Who is the greatest pianist ever?" will always remain elusive. But if we slightly change it into "Who is the pianist with the greatest repeated notes ever?" then the answer can only be "Josef Hofmann". In the Moszkowski's Caprice he dispatches the thorny long sequences of repeated notes at a whopping speed of 120 a dotted crotchet! Even a tremendous virtuoso like Eileen Joyce does not get close to Josef's stupendous rendition of repeated notes (Eileen's sensuous recording can be found here: www.youtube.com I bet that Josef could play faster repeated notes on an upright piano than most pianists could on a good grand piano. I tried to include as many of Josef's excerpts as possible but regrettably I had to leave out the live performance of the Caprice from his ...
Forgotten Stride Pianist - Francois Rilhac
One of the greatest stride pianists of all time, the late, great Francois Rilhac. An amazingly talented young man, he studied bebop music in the 1970s and 80s, until he found Stride Piano. Once discovered, he did nothing else. Unfortunatly, Francois left us in 1992 at the age of 32 after a long personal battle. His music, however, leaves a lasting impression on the stride piano world, as his impeccable rhythm and ability to play at rediculous speeds with accuacy continually drops jaws around the world.

Pianist Ivan Ilić performs Leopold Godowsky 'Chopin Study' no.18a
This is a video of Léopold Godowsky's fiendishly difficult transcription of Frédéric Chopin's étude Opus 10 #9, for the left hand alone, performed by pianist Ivan Ilić. The Original Work by Chopin The original étude, an unusually straightforward one among Chopin's Opus 10 set, is a piece that even respected professional performers practice far too little because they underestimate the work's difficulties. As a result, performances of the original version are almost universally shabby. Paradoxically, études that are far more demanding enjoy a higher standard of performance simply because pianists take them more seriously (Opus 10 #8 comes to mind). A cursory search on YouTube reveals performances of Opus 10 #9 of universal mediocrity. Even Alfred Cortot, a legendary Chopin performer, presents an embarrassingly sloppy version. Léopold Godowsky's Version Godowsky's étude number 18a has all the passion of the original and magnifies its scope, all with the use of only one hand. Godowsky's version, on the other hand, is not a piece to be undertaken lightly. Contrary to his two handed variations on Chopin's études, Godowsky's left handed variations eschew thick, opaque textures and as a result are often more successful. Further, in stark contrast to the aforementioned performers on YouTube, Godowsky relishes improving upon Chopin's more humble offspring. His versions of the études numbers 6 and 9 from Opus 10 are particularly irresistible because Godowsky allows himself the ...
Blind Tom Wiggins: Slave Pianist & Autistic Savant
www.blindtom.org presents one of the nineteenth century's most famous and perplexing pianists. Born a slave in Georgia, Blind Tom died an international celebrity in 1908. He had an encyclopedic memory, all-consuming passion for music and mind boggling capacity to imitate - both verbally and musically - any sound he heard. These extraordinary savant powers rocketed him to fame and made his name a household word, a byword for eccentric, oddball genius.
My Entry For World's Fastest Pianist Competition ( LOL! ) Godowsky Die Fledermaus Lisitsa
WARNING, WARNING - "competing" in music , no matter in what discipline : fastest , loudest, cleanest , octavest, trilliest, jumpiest, double-notiest.... IS THE SILLIEST THING, OK ? MUSIC IS NEVER ABOUT COMPETITION Godowsky Symphonic Metamorphoses on Themes by Johann Strauss: No. 2, Die Fledermaus Rightly called "one of the most complicated stunts ever written for piano", this piece probably has more notes per second, or per square centimeter of sheet music, than anything comparable. For those listeners impatient enough to "endure" a few minutes of most delightful and inventive music , and just interested in world record in speed ( LOL again ) , just scroll to @ 6:00" , fasten your seat belts and don't complain about " speeded-up and fast forwarded" video. It happens to be live and with quite a few witnesses :) Godowsky called his paraphrase "Symphonic Metamorphosis on Strauss' Fledermaus". It is a contrapuntal piece, though it has nothing to do with fugues or Bach &Co. It just means that he first develops Strauss' tunes by bending and misshaping them to his heart's desire, and then he combines all of them -- running independent of each other in rhythm and contours -- into just two hands (or is it six hands like in this video -- that would explain a lot ). It is not a fun piece to play ( oh no!) -- it is a supremely fun piece to play with . Don't try it at home though :) To put all of it in perspective , and to give us all a reality check -- here is a delightful story ...
Documentary: Imagine Being a Concert Pianist
58 minute long BBC documentary called Imagine: Being a Concert Pianist. In July, 19-year-old pianist Benjamin Grosvenor made his debut at the Proms to great acclaim, wowing both audiences and critics with his performance of Liszt's Piano Concerto No 2 in A Major. The youngest ever soloist to perform in the First Night of the Proms, he returns to the Royal Albert Hall on August 6 to take on Britten's Piano Concerto. In 2005, Imagine discovered this musical prodigy in the making. Alan Yentob talked to the 12-year-old Grosvenor about his success the previous year, in the piano section of The Young Musician of The Year Competition. This is another chance to see that documentary. Imagine: Being a Concert Pianist gets under the lid of this extreme form of musicianship. Celebrated pianists, including Yevgeny Kissin, Vladimir Ashkenazy and Chinese wunderkind Lang Lang, talk intimately about their lives, their work and their motivation. The film gives a frank and personal perspective on a profession for which the only real qualification is genius, richly illustrated with specially recorded rehearsal and performance.

Pianist Ivan Ilić performs the Cadenza from Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand
In one of the many ironies of music history, Paul Wittgenstein has become one of the most famous pianists of the twentieth century. It is ironic because there is little evidence that he had the talent that merits such a reputation. Prokofiev was merciless. He wrote, "I don't see any special talent in [Paul Wittgenstein's] left hand. It may be that his misfortune has turned out to be a stroke of good luck, for with only his left hand he is unique but maybe with both hands he would not have stood out from a crowd of mediocre pianists." Ouch. One thing Wittgenstein DID have was a hell of a story, not to mention deep pockets. In fact, it would be difficult to find another pianist whose life story involved as much drama. On the surface of things, the story is that of someone who overcame tremendous adversity to make his mark in history. Things certainly began well enough; Paul was born into one of the most prominent, wealthy families in Vienna. He enjoyed a greatly privileged upbringing, the best of everything was at his fingertips. While he was still a child, his parents invited the most famous musicians in the city to come play for them privately. Although all eight Wittgenstein children were musical and idolized musicians, some perhaps more talented than Paul, it was Paul that had a burning desire to make his mark and become a major musical figure. His younger brother Ludwig was just as ambitious and succeeded in becoming one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th ...
The 10 greatest pianists (?)
Who are the greatest writers? Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Swift, Puskin ... or the greatest film directors? Dreyer, Bresson, Renoir, Lang, Mizoguchi, Tarkovsky ... everyone does it, it's an old game, which often becomes dangerous, controversial ... Some friends have asked me to do this old game: "Who are the 10 greatest pianists?" Well, is very difficult to limit to 10, but it's just a game. Here I present my personal list of 10 favorites - "greatest" is understood in this sense, of course - very troubled choice among classical pianists (I'm sorry for the divine Tatum), in chronological order: Rachmaninoff (Rachmaninoff: Moment Musical Op. 16 No. 2) Lhevinne (Schumann-Liszt: Fruhlingsnacht) Hofmann (Scarlatti-Tausig: Capriccio) Petri (Schubert-Liszt: Die Forelle) Backhaus (Smetana: Polka) Moiseiwitsch (Schumann: Traumeswirren) Gieseking (Debussy: La danse de Puck) Sofronitsky (Liszt: Gnomenreigen) Ginzburg (Paganini-Liszt: Etude No. 4) Gilels (Mendelssohn: Caprice Op. 16 No. 2)

Martin Avila is the Philippines' premier lounge pianist. He started playing the piano at the age of 4 and played professionally at 13. Martin has a Bachelor of Music in Piano and Composition degree from the University of the Philippines College of Music, graduating in 1987. During college days at the UP, Martin's mentors included Ryan Cayabyab in Theory and Composition and Prof. Carolyn Kleiner Cheng in Piano whom Martin owes most of his piano playing techniques and interpretation. Martin Avila has 4 instrumental albums on cd's and cassettes under Ivory Records currently available in all record bars nationwide.

The late maestro Rudy Francisco is one of the country's most respected pianist, having been responsible for the training and success of most of the country's celebrity singers. Prefessor Ryan Cayabyab when asked by his friend, Mr. Jun Alvendia, owner of PHILACOR, on April 2006 if he knows Martin Avila and said, Of course I know Martin. He is infinitely better than any other lounge pianists. Really good!. He took over the pole position left by Joselito Pascual.. Prof. Ryan Cayabyab is an icon of Philippine Pop music. He was the musical director of the San Miguel Philharmonic ...
Super Mario Athlete's Rag Air Platform sight-read; Tom Brier
If you've seen my other videos of Tom sight-reading videogame ragtime sheet music that I've put in front of him, this video should come as no surprise to you. I had not yet finished correcting the awful score that is available online for this tune (I did put it into the correct time signature, but it still has some really funky chords and other problems), nevertheless I put a copy of it as it stands in front of my amazingly talented friend Tom Brier this weekend. This was the result. Tom is a highly regarded pianist and sight-reader in the ragtime community. I have other videos of him you can find (and more to come) which will give you an idea why. There are so many amateur pianists out there playing these rags from video games, but I thought it would be nice to see what a pianist who specializes in ragtime music would make of them. This tune is by Koji Kondo (近藤浩治) and is one of the most famous tunes of all music from Nintendo video games. I still haven't cleaned up the score completely. Here it is as Tom was reading it -- no repeats, some questionable chords, etc. www.keeper1st.com
