Memorization in Piano Performance.(Video Recording Review)
Memorization in Piano Performance (DVD), by Stewart Gordon. Alfred Publishing Company, Inc. (16380 Roscoe Blvd., P.O. Box 10003, Van Nuys, CA 91410), 2004. 64 rains. $19.95. All levels.
"Fear before every performance is the price I must pay for the marvelous life I lead," quotes pianist Stewart Gordon about Arthur Rubinstein. One of the biggest fears in performance is that of forgetting the music, and Gordon, lecturing to piano teachers in Kansas, has shed new light on this often elusive topic. The result is the 1995 SH Productions video re-release on digital videodisc, adding to Alfred's growing DVD library. The layout of the disc is clear and attractive, and the menu is easy to use. At a length of sixty-four minutes, the DVD is short enough to view in one sitting, yet substantive enough to provide value.
An active pedagogue, Gordon is well known as chair of keyboard studies at the University of Southern California and is co-author along with Marienne Uszler of The Well-Tempered Keyboard Teacher and creator of A History of Keyboard Literature: Music for the Piano and Its Forerunners. In the present lecture (offered apparently from memory and preceded and followed by short memorized piano performances), he tackles the topic of memorizing through five subdivisions--motor ...
