Leon Fleisher Chamber Music Masterclass July 19, 2016

The Music Academy of the West is among the nation’s preeminent summer schools and festivals for gifted young classically trained musicians. At its ocean-side campus in Santa Barbara, the Academy provides these musicians with the opportunity for advanced study and performance under the guidance of internationally renowned faculty artists, guest conductors, and soloists. Admission to the Academy is strictly merit based, and fellows receive full scholarships (tuition, room, and board). The Academy’s distinguished teaching artists roster has included famed soprano Lotte Lehmann, composers Darius Milhaud and Arnold Schoenberg, cellist Gregor Piatigorsky, pianist Jeremy Denk, and current Voice Program Director Marilyn Horne. Academy alumni are members of major symphony orchestras, chamber orchestras, ensembles, opera companies, and university and conservatory faculties throughout the world. Many enjoy careers as prominent solo artists. In 2014 the Music Academy entered into a four-year partnership with the New York Philharmonic, resulting in unprecedented training and performance opportunities for Academy fellows, and Summer Festival residencies for Philharmonic musicians. The Music Academy of the West cultivates discerning, appreciative, and adventurous audiences, presenting more than 200 public events annually, nearly half of them free of charge. These include performances by faculty, visiting artists, and fellows; masterclasses; orchestra and chamber music concerts; and a fully staged opera. The 2016 Summer School and Festival took place from June 13 to August 6 at the Academy’s scenic Miraflores campus and in venues throughout Santa Barbara.

Fleisher working with kids whose teachers ought to have flown higher musically speaking and conveyed what the music is really all about. This is subtle musicianship, a gift hardly common, such that Fleisher's insights are revelatory.

"What do you think of your performance?" Dorothy Delay's Teaching changed for ever the way we should teach

just in case the reference to the suicide picture is a reference to The Sorrows of Werther of Goethe whose publication was followed by a suicide wave.

Leonard Rose listened with his eyes rather than his ears?

[@Oka33]

Meaning, he saw the pianist's extreme movement so thought the sound was loud, though it was not.

[@liedersanger1]
