CCHK Salon: “Steps to Perfection: Piano Teaching from Clementi to Chopin". Inspired by the mutual enrichment that arises from the interaction between teachers and students, Patricia Garcia Gil and Andrew Willis will host a conversation around the English/French lineage of piano instruction that stemmed from Clementi’s seminal Introduction to the Art of Playing the Piano Forte (1801), performing examples drawn from collections of studies by Clementi, Cramer, Montgeroult, and Chopin. The pedagogical materials developed by Clementi provided a model for countless instructional methods and were endorsed and used in their own teaching by Beethoven, Chopin, and other eminent musicians.
