Moscow and its Conservatoire was long, perhaps still is, the heart of Russian pianism. Its graduates range through Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Medtner, Richter, Gilels, Ashkenazy, Pletnev and beyond. Professor Christopher Barnes, a professor of Slavic languages at the University of Toronto, has translated hitherto unavailable essays, critiques and lectures from the leading teaching lights at the Moscow Conservatoire. This is a feast of valuable piano pedagogy.
Professor and Chairman of the Slavic Department in the University of Toronto, Christopher Barnes is an acknowledged authority on the life and work of Boris Pasternak and a well-known translator of various modern authors. Pursuing a parallel interest in music, he also studied piano privately and is known as a lecturer-recitalist on Russian musical topics. He is currently working on a monograph on Scriabin and a history of Russian Pianism.
