A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center

For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers. No fixed formulas, no “seasonal jazz” clichés — just strong pianistic voices working with familiar material. This year, the live concert is on pause. Here’s what changed, and where pianists can still turn for meaningful jazz piano Christmas listening and playing. Read more

moszkowsky - Caprice Espagnole op37

Hi How many of you have played this fantasic little piece?? What are your impressions. How difficult do you find it?? Im considering learning it as an encore number. Would you say its comparable in difficulty to the more taxing etudes by Moszkowsky?? ::)

I saw Kissin use it as an encore - nothing short of spectacular! (That, after a jaw-dropping Petroushka  :o)

It looks at least as difficult as the etudes (Op. 72, anyway), but as I haven't seen the music I couldn't really say for sure. It's a wonderful encore piece, though, so if you feel a great desire to learn the piece, don't let anyone stop you.
