International Piano Magazine June 2022 Edición anterior

In the June issue of International Piano, Turkish pianist Can Çakmur introduces his new album of modern repertoire inspired by folk music. Elsewhere we remember Radu Lupu, whose profound expressiveness masked a fizzy sense of humour; Ruth Slenczynska recalls her lessons with Rachmaninov, Cortot, Hoffman, Petri and Schnabel; and Colin Clark reports from the Orléans Competition for contemporary music.

Plus, 15 pages of free sheet music and a masterclass with Noriko Ogawa on performing Debussy's 'Clair de lune'; how pianists protect their hands from extreme technical challenges; easing playing-related injuries using the Taubman Approach; Murray McLachlan's technical refresher course for recommencing pianists continues with part two of his focus on finger independence and dexterity; Finnish pianist and artist Jasmin Fors explores masterworks by Chopin and Liszt; tracing the links between an historic piano and the origins of the Edinburgh Festival; Nicolas Hodges gives the UK premiere of Rebecca Saunders’ piano concerto; Russian pianist Miroslav Kultyshev; and Mariam Batsashvili on music that mixes sadness with sunshine.
