Early this century, when the concert stage was ruled by men and Old World prejudices, a young Texan named Lucy Hickenlooper reinvented herself as Olga Samaroff - international concert pianist. An American Virtuoso on the World Stage traces a tumultuous career that broke new ground for American and women performers. Olga Samaroff, perhaps best known as Leopold Stokowski's first wife, was the first American woman to win entrance into the piano class at Paris's Conservatoire Nationale de Musique; the first American female pianist to make her concert debut at Carnegie Hall and to perform all thirty-two Beethoven sonatas; the first woman to serve as music critic for a New York daily newspaper; the first American-born member of the piano faculty at the Juilliard School; and among the first to make recordings for broadcast on radio and television. Samaroff was even the driving force behind her husband's career, having arranged for his first position as a conductor. Her years on the faculty of Juilliard and of the Philadelphia Conservatory launched the first generation of America-born, American-trained concert pianists.

Thinking as You Play

Amadeus Press, Inc.

Paris at the turn of the 20th century was obsessed with the interrelations of the arts. It was a time when artists and writers spoke of poetry as music, sounds as colors, and paintings as symphonies. The music of Claude Debussy, with its unique textures and dazzling colors, was the perfect counterpart to the bold new styles of painting in France. Paul Roberts probes the sources of Debussy's artistic inspiration, relating the "impressionist" titles to the artistic and literary ferment of the time. He also draws on his own performing experience to touch on the principal technical problems that a performer of Debussy's piano music may encounter. His many suggestions about interpreting the music will be particularly valuable to performers as well as listeners.

Abby Whiteside (1881-1956) developed a revolutionary approach to piano technique, the idea of a basic rhythm involving the entire body that allows students to express the essential emotional rhythm of the music, as well as to play without the risk of the injuries that frequently afflict pianists. Her ideas on piano pedagogy remain essential today.
