Chueke Z: Pianists and the Music of
their Time

Pianists and the Music of their Time

Facing the Unknown

The ABS Guides Series

Bach's Art of Fugue and Musical Offering unpacks two closely related masterworks from the composer's final decade. Bach scholar and keyboard player Matthew Dirst provides essential background on this music, explains its specialized vocabulary and distinctive procedures, offers close readings of individual movements, and synthesizes what we know about both original editions. Additional features include a curated survey of the historical reception of this music in various media and suggestions in each chapter for further reading.

Bach's Art of Fugue and Musical Offering

What does it mean - and how does it feel - to grow up as a Black artist today?

'This exceptional book, written with a mother's love for her seven creative children, sensitively offers profound and original insights and perspectives that enrich our culture. I feel so much wiser for reading it.' Bernardine Evaristo

When Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason's eldest daughter, Isata, made her solo debut at the BBC Proms in 2023, she could not have been prouder. Watching years of hard work transform into a transcendent performance was profoundly moving, both as music-lover and parent.

All fractured when her younger daughter turned to her in tears a few days later, having read online abuse about her sister. Isata, it was declared, did not deserve to be there. How do you prepare your child for the fact that no matter their talent, technique or dedication, they will be told they do not belong?

Through conversations with her extraordinarily gifted family, Kanneh-Mason explores what it's like to come of age in these turbulent times, when Black artistic self-expression is so often met with disparagement and abuse online - and offers a hopeful, powerful way through.

Reflections

This resource bridges generational gaps and fosters creativity in piano pedagogy by providing research-backed insights, innovative strategies, and real-life stories. Diana Dumlavwalla and Melody Morrison provide a comprehensive guide for piano educators aiming to effectively engage and teach students from Generation Z and Generation Alpha. This book looks at the unique circumstances that have shaped the upbringing of younger generations--including their extensive use of digital technology, social media, and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic--and how these traits influence their learning and educational experiences. Dumlavwalla and Morrison highlight the importance of adapting teaching methods to meet the needs of Gen Z and Alpha students, emphasizing the use of technology, fostering creativity, and understanding musical tastes. They offer practical strategies that teachers can readily implement in their pedagogical practices. While avoiding generalizations, it addresses common challenges faced by these students, such as the length of attention spans and hand dexterity and strength. A variety of solutions are offered to overcome these and other barriers. They also highlight the strengths of Gen Z and Alpha students, such as their digital familiarity and openness to diverse musical genres and suggest impactful ways to leverage these strengths in piano lessons. By focusing on generational differences and the evolving educational landscape, this book bridges the gap between traditional teaching methods and the contemporary needs of today's students, offering tools to enhance student-teacher connections and ensure that piano education remains relevant and engaging for the next generation.

Couch to Concert: Beginner Piano Course

Women are an essential part of the history of the piano—but how many women pianists can you name? &nbsp; Throughout most of the piano’s history, women pianists lacked access to formal training and were excluded from male-dominated performance spaces. Even the modern piano’s keys were designed without consideration of women’s typically smaller hands. Yet despite their music being largely confined to the domestic sphere, women continued to play, perform, and compose on their own terms. &nbsp; Celebrated pianist and author Susan Tomes traces fifty such women across the piano’s history. Including now-famous names such as Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn, Tomes also highlights overlooked women: from Hélène de Montgeroult, whose playing saved her life during the French Revolution, to Leopoldine Wittgenstein, influential Viennese salonnière, and Hazel Scott, the first Black performer in the United States to have a nationally syndicated TV show. &nbsp; From Maria Szymanowska to Nina Simone, and including interviews with women performing today, this is a much-needed corrective to our understanding of the piano—and a timely testament to women’s musical lives.

A History in 50 Lives

Women and the Piano

Chronicling nearly a century of music, Gaby Casadesus' MyMusical Notes, recounts the French pianist's remarkable career as half of one of the most extraordinary husband and wife teams in twentieth century classical music, with her husband Robert Casadesus. Told in a lively conversational tone, she evokes the delicate balance between touring and family life, maintaining her own solo career and traveling the world while raising three children. Her decades-long teaching imparted the stylistic legacy of Debussy, Fauré and Ravel, a personal friend to both Robert and Gaby, to generations of young pianists. 
In this memoir, we experience the bustling Paris of the 1920s and 30s as well as numerous adventures touring North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia while championing French piano repertoire as the internationally recognized duo Robert and Gaby Casadesus. She also details her encounters and collaborations with the greatest names of 20th century classical music: Fauré, Ravel, Stravinsky, Poulenc, Bruno Walter, Toscanini, Szell, Boulez, Bernstein as well as other celebrities of the era such as Albert Einstein, with whom she played Mozart, Elsa Schiaparelli, Joan Miró and more.
Translated and republished in English for the first time as My Musical Notes: Gaby Casadesus,
A Journey in Classical Piano Between the World Wars and Beyond, this 2024 edition brings this legendary story to a larger audience.
