My teacher at that I am studying for told me a story about Tortelier. He said that this girl wanted to know how to far you could the fingers before having to shift. 'Being an odd question, tortelier told everyone to go outside. There they came across a giant tree, then tortelier told the girl to hug the tree and spread her fingers and arms. Till this day, nobody including my teacher knew what he was trying to teach the class.
To be honest I think that if you can't take constructive criticism, then you shouldn't play an instrument, because teachers are there to help you improve, and getting angry isn't going to help anything along.
I wonder why she bothered to turn up if she’s going to be so narky and ego bruised about it. It’s a masterclass, he’s the master (student of Hekking, no less!) she isn’t. The young woman is lucky to have had the opportunity. He’s stone cold dead now. Too bad for the rest of us.
Watch the first video of twelve and listen to how he sings praise for Jacqueline du Pre. Masterclasses are difficult situations, but we learn so much from them. If one expects no criticism, no matter how bad, then they shouldn't be in that situation, let alone in the performing arts. I think she took it very well and probably learned TONS of things later in her practice sessions by liberating her 1st finger of the second - that's the kind of teacher he was, he could fix so many problems in a very direct and efficient manner, and years later one would still be learning from that single solitary lesson.
Rubbish. Have you not seen/heard his wife, Maud (now 95), play cello? Have you not seen footage of them playing together with their daughter at the piano? Look beyond your prejudices and observe more closely what it is in her playing that he’s reacting too. He did well to contain his frustration at her thorny chagrin and superior attitude. He offered the young lady more useful criticism than the young man. I’d say she got better value for money.
He is so kind.This is how all teachers shoould be, tell the truth in a humble manner...especially in a master class!

poor piano slave in the background
Come on, he just scorns the poor girl, hardly gives her a chance to play, has eyes and ears only for the boy. Thus was this generation...
