Top piano magazines?
on: January 26, 2010, 03:08:02 AM
Hi
Self explanatory, but as I'm based in Australia I'm looking to buy some good piano magazines as nothing is avail here.
What is available in the UK and USA and which do people favour and why, taking into consideration, content, size and cost? I've found International Piano Magazine but not sure how this compares to others.
I'm trying to find a magazine that has a balance of info about artists, history, CD reviews, and interpretation/masterclasses. Trying to steer clear from those with a large focus on teaching school kids etc.
Thanks

"Clavier Companion" is very good, includes some teaching, but also everything else in a good ammount that you describe. Here's the website:

I see. Clavier Companion used to be Keyboard Companion. I was wondering.

Unfortunately, "Clavier Companion" (to which I subscribe) is really the only noteworthy piano magazine left in the U.S. today. Although it touches on everything, it's heavily slanted toward pedagogy. "Piano Quarterly" and its later successor, "Piano and Keyboard", both of which focused more on piano performance as well as pedagogy and other related topics, are now defunct. I believe that's a sad commentary on the plight of classical music in our day.

It's meant for piano teachers.
There are others. I know there's another thread about this somewhere on here.

I looked at a couple of issues of International Piano and agree it's the best. But spending $53.00 U.S. for a one-year subscription is a lot.

Pianist Magazine. English with scores from beginners to advanced.
Pianiste Magazine. French counterpart. Sheet music more demanding I feel at the advanced level.
Both plus cd.
Unique, bi-monthly. Including articles and interviews.
But working through the music in each edition, so learning in 2 months the pieces in it, is quite demanding. Of course depending on your level.
Sheet music included fingering, dynamics, phrasing,...
top. Although I missed a level "virtuoso" which the uk version lacks. The most difficult in it will still be somewhat too "easy".
But the french version, included chopin etudes...
Depends from edition to edition
