Claudio Arrau (1903-1991) was a Chilean pianist who devoted his
life to an international performing and teaching career. As a child
prodigy, he gained national recognition from government officials
in Chile, including President Pedro Montt, who later funded Arrau's
education in Germany. He completed his studies in Berlin with
Martin Krause, a pupil of Franz Liszt, and later immigrated to New
York City, where he began his teaching career and mentored a
sizeable group of pupils. His unique and magnetic style impassioned
his pupils and motivated them to teach his principles to the next
generation of students, including author Victoria von Arx. Piano
Lessons with Claudio Arrau highlights interviews with Arrau's
surviving pupils (from his class in New York City, which he taught
from 1945 to the early 1970s) that give readers an in-depth
description of Arrau's principles of technique and performance.
Quotations and lesson transcripts make Arrau's voice - and those of
his former pupils - audible, and detailed references to over one
hundred examples from filmed recordings make his famed technique
visible. The bulk of the book features edited and
previously-unpublished transcriptions of lessons Arrau gave his
pupils, lavishly illustrated with musical examples. The author,
herself a teacher and performer, draws information from numerous
interviews with Arrau's pupils, from her experience studying with
two of them, from videos of Arrau's performances, and from the
recorded lessons. By culling these disparate sources of information
and presenting them systematically in a single book, von Arx
provides an insider's view of the art of piano playing as
exemplified by one of the great artists of the twentieth century
and offers the reader a virtual piano lesson with Claudio Arrau.
