Lokshin 100
This Week in Classical Music: September 21, 2020. Alexander Lokshin. Several great composers were born this week: Jean-Philippe Rameau, for example, on September 25th of 1683, or Dmitry Shostakovich, on the same day in 1906. George Gershwin was born on September 26th of 1898. Komitas, the national composer of Armenia, was also born on the 26th, in 1869, while Mikalojus Čiurlionis, who occupies a similar place in the musical history of Lithuania, was born on September 22nd of 1875. And let’s not forget Andrzej Panufnik, one of the most interesting Polish composer of the 20th century: he was born on September 24th of 1914. We’ve written about every single one of them, but this week we’d like to compensate for a significant date we missed last week.

An entirely reasonable question: I, a hardened Russian-music enthusiast, knew nothing more than a Mezhdunarodnaya Kniga CD (MK 417124) of the Fifth Symphony (Shakespeare s Sonnets, for baritone, strings, and harp), the String Quintet (extra viola, before you ask), and the Suite From Lyrics by François Villon, […]

An interview with Rada Bukhman, pianist, teacher, author, about the “Russian School of Piano Playing”
[…] which would be new for teachers and students. I was using the Nikolaev book in my childhood, which is translated into English. However, I found it impossible to use most of its content. I managed to combine well-known music like the selections from Children’s cycles by Tchaikovsky, Schumann, Maykapar with the music that has never been published before in North America. For example, my book includes pieces by Russian prominent composers such as Sviridov and Lokshin. For the part of the book called “Development of Piano Apparatus” I was searching for pieces that would correspond to each technique. SK: Could you describe the specific teachers who most influenced you and why? Rada Bukhman: My learning experience is a combination of skills I acquired from very different but unique musicians. All of them contributed to my musical development tremendously. However I feel that teaching young musicians continuously makes me a better […]
