John Browning was born in the United States and trained at the Julliard School, was primarily know as an excellent pianist artisans, with unusual musical and technical accuracy, rarely if ever play a wrong note. His mother taught piano at the age of three years and five years, was handed a professional piano teacher. He was constantly exposed to music when growing up in his house, and concerts.
Browning is very likely to playRavel, played with the left hand clearly Concerto, Tombeau de Couperin, and perfectly balanced, rhythmic Toccata. Prokofiev was a famous concert and superbly crafted third concert, one of his best performances. Other works of the 20th century, played a sonata Barber, Barber Concerto Preludes and Cumming. He played a perfect technical treatments of Chopin's Etudes. Her great classic recordings of Schumann, Beethoven, Variations, Rachmaninoff and Liszt. "ILiszt play very little, "said Browning." Mine a great technology, based on the production of great emotion. A Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody are not always very emotional and musical sense, so technically it would be very difficult for me to play. "
Browning has taught courses over the years. He reported that his first priority to teach students, not technology, are thinking as the most important element of performance. He seeks above all to the students aware of the soundand vote. His piano lessons engage students by understanding the importance of thinking in orchestral keyboard. "A good pianist is not only a melody," says Brown. "He plays a melody, like a wind instrument, or a string or a horn. This gives the music its color quality, which are not associated with technology per se." The music goes beyond the simple finger technique - you should listen to Horowitz, for example, who play for ten voices and sound like ten differentTools, he added.
Browning was quick to point out, however, suggests that great pianists still have their technique perfected Ashkenazy citing as one who obviously took a lot of time on his technical skills. Ashkenazy seems to be a natural in the third double, sixth and similar movements. It has an unusually small hands, but still bears the simple techniques and effortlessly. This has led to the conclusion that Browning was born with a good dose of naturalSkills.
The Russian school of education, Browning said: "Of course the real attitude or position of the hands and fingers a lot to do with the final effect of that benefit, the Russian school, in imitation Rubinstein, an upper deck and a bar as flat. Americans. The only difference is the Leschetizky School, which uses a lot of curved fingers. "Browning believed in the importance of proper use of weight to play. Not to attack the keyboard, but with strong weightis a richer and less percussive sound that only by pressing the button. The use of the wrist is important, but it seems to be an individual property. After this pianist body size, and largely determines the weight, all other factors of piano technique, the position of the hand and wrist flexibility.
Technology, Browning said, is not a matter of playing scales with speed. And 'the ability to produce many different sounds. This ability is the highest ideal ofTechnology. Piano students need to understand that the sustain pedal plays an important role in giving voice to it. Many young pianists of the pedal as a crutch and play without any relief. As a consequence, Legato is not developed, when a pianist constantly pushes the sustain pedal. Unfortunately, many pianists have not been trained to finesse the pedal.
When the pedal is used, it should be only for shading and accent. "A pianist should not depend on," saidBrowning. "This is one of the secrets of the game Horowitz. He does not need to pedal, and if I use it, is achieved very subtle nuances and accents. It 'can be connected to pages of music without playing at all. Does not sink t have to do with the pedal because it will be as much votes and his lines are so strong. "
George Szell, for example, declares that no one should even pianist if he can not play a Bach Prelude and Fugue no pedal. contrapuntal music of the period of Bachto follow linear features pianist to vote and express a voice against the others.
Browning specific lessons follow a "method" when taking piano? Do "As long as I played the piano in a natural way, as I could," the artist said, "I did put all other aspects of the fall art in dignity. I always had a good natural technique that I have always had a very natural sound to the keyboard, a sense of pitch, and I've always been a natural pedaler, so I never gave any conscious methodAttention. "
Browning has retained a large amount of music. His former teacher forced him to memorize a new sonata by every week, so that when Browning 2001, he knew most of the big concert literature. He explained that rote learning is just hard work, a song played over and over again until he knew them by heart. He learned the procedures and exercised constantly.
At this point, a pianist, piano lessons can be started as soon as a technicianProspects for the type of physical coordination, plays the piano is required. However, Browning said, America has institutionalized the Suzuki method of violin and this means that to use because it apparently works for a large number of people to the Suzuki method abbreviations. That alone, says the pianist, Browning was highly suspicious of the Suzuki method.
Like many other musicians, Browning feels that there is a secret behind its ability to record and play beautiful music. "E 'almost as if some supernatural power or supernatural ... intervenes. I have no other way to describe it or know it, but sometimes I feel it. "
