Piano Journey

Piano methods have always been contentious subjects. Piano Journey explains in detail, with many musical examples, the never before published method of the great French virtuoso pianist Marcel Ciampi. This is one of the first methods which amalgamated ideas from the Russian tradition, which dealt a blow to the old French school of piano playing and will be of historical and practical interest to more advanced pianists. The book is in part an autobiographical account of the early stages of the authors’ own journey, which includes his perceptions of differences between studying in London and Paris in the mid twentieth century. Drawing upon the authors’ extensive psychotherapeutic knowledge, the book explores some of the issues of performance anxiety and is designed to give encouragement and help to all those who are seeking ways forward with their piano playing. Piano Journey is suitable for pianists looking to advance their studies, either technically or psychologically, and offers support and guidance throughout.

Coming Close

A Novella and Three Stories as Alternative Autobiographies

By: Bernard Harper Friedman

Coming Close is what the author calls "alternative autobiographies"--four stories, each dealing freely with different, though sometimes overlapping, material through which we understand the complexity of a man's life. In the previously unpublished novella "Watching Father Die," a son sees his father die--both as physical man and psychological symbol. At the same time, the son watches himself die, and cool rage balances warm compassion. "Drinking Smoke," and "Moving in Place," have both been published in prestigious literary magazines--New American Review and The Hudson Review. Like the novella, each is concerned with an obsession. "Moving in Place" received a Fels Award of the Coordinating Council of Literary Magazines as one of the five best stories of the year. Finally, "Choosing a Name" focuses on how a man who is nameless, though precisely identified in the first three stories, comes close to being B.H. Friedman. Altogether, the four stories reinforce one another to become a coherent, multi-faceted self-portrait.

Emile Bernard (1868-1941)

By: Fred Leeman,Wildenstein Institute

Ces quelques lignes résument parfaitement la carrière d'Emile Bernard, dont l'oeuvre peint reste encore aujourd'hui largement méconnu. Cet esprit curieux et profondément religieux s'impose pourtant comme un des théoriciens du cloisonnisme et du synthétisme,à l'origine du symbolisme pictural. A travers cette première monographie, l'historien d'art néerlandais Fred Leeman, avec la participation des descendants de l'artiste, retrace son parcours complexe et analyse ses oeuvres les plus significatives, comme Madeleine au Bois d'Amour, Bretonnes dans la prairie ou Le Pardon, ou encore l'Autoportrait symbolique dit Vision, la Vision d'Egypte et le Cycle humain. Des lettres et textes inédits d'Emile Bernard ainsi que des documents provenant des archives familiales viennent étayer cette étude.
