Through the middle years of this century, a formidable stream of
Russian pianists - Gilels, Richter, Berman, Ashkenazy - took the
musical world by storm, revealing by their virtuosity and
musicianship the continuation of a great pianistic tradition. The
Central School of Music and the Moscow Conservatory were the
shrines where this tradition was passed on by dedicated and gifted
teachers. Dmitry Paperno, himself a brilliant pianist, was a
witness to this golden age of the piano. His memoirs, translated
for the first time into English, take us into the halls of these
celebrated schools, where the reader encounters not only the great
pianists of the period but other legendary names: Oistrakh, Kogan,
Rostropovich. Towering above all is his beloved teacher, Alexander
Borisovich Goldenweiser. The rich musical life of Moscow and the
tensions of international competition are vividly described along
with the brutal repression of the Stalin years. The author recalls
his performing career and gives an account of his years teaching in
America since his emigration, rounding out this reminiscence.
