Hello Everyone at Pianostreet!! My name is Julian Toha and I am currently a Junior undergraduate majoring in piano at Florida State University. I look forward to meeting everyone while learning and sharing information. I guess a good way to introduce myself is by showing how I play and what I like to play. So recently I recorded the Barber Piano Concerto with my school orchestra and I have a video online of one of the performances (I didn't post it). Anyways, I am a lover of less common piano repertoire, as well as the greats (Beethoven Op. 57, Schumann Op. 13, and the Barber Sonata).

Here is my blog: https://juliantoha.blogspot.com/

And Here is my video: (This is 1 of 4, you can find the other ones on there as well)

Let me know what you guys and ladies think . . .

Florida State?

Do you study with Dr. James Nalley? If that is so, then you might find it coincidental that I performed in a Masterclass for him back in December!

Hey Julian, Welcome to the site. I hope you have a useful and wonderful time here. The Barber concerto is one of my all time favorites, ever since I first heard the recording of John Browning with Cleveland/Szell. I'm always happy when people play it, or I hear people working on it. Thanks for posting it.

Actually, I don't.  But that was a pretty close connection.  I study with the current chair: Leonard Mastrogiacomo.  What school do you go to?

I go to the D'Angelo School of Music, part of Mercyhurst College in Erie, PA.  Small world haha.

Julian,

Welcome to Piano Street.  Your rendition of the Barber Concerto is very fine indeed.  Congratulations on that wonderful performance!

Holy crap! I never would have expected that! That's a real bummer.  He was a fantastic pianist and a great teacher too...
