Pianists/Teachers Genealogy Tree

[wojcia3333]

Hi,

I am compiling a genealogy tree for famous pianists and teachers.

It is a work in progress.
 
I am open to any suggestions as to the layout, who should/should not be included, mistakes I made. My next step will be to include more living pianists and trying to complete the historic part of the graph.

The arrows go from the teacher to students.

Country in brackets is a country of birth.

I am looking at famous pianists and teachers, that had either many famous students or taught someone famous pianists. I understand the ambiguity of the word "famous". At the moment I am looking for suggestions, I am on my way to set up the inclusion guidelines for my graph.

Enjoy!

I was not trying to be biased towards anyone. If someone is not included, it is probably due to the amount of time it takes for me to collect and check the data.

The graph is based on the Oxford Encyclopedia, Grove and many other resources (books, articles etc) that I will be gradually indicating in the updated versions of the graph.

For what it's worth, there's a chart called "Tree of Keyboard Masters and Students" by Lillie Herman-Philipp in her book called Piano Technique:  Tone, Touch, Phrasing and Dynamics.  It was created several decades ago, though, so it's not up to date; the only pianists represented who are still living appear to be Cliburn and Fleisher.  Still, it might be helpful for your own research.

Looks nice, perhaps if you finish it off and get a nice design i might hang a poster of it above my bed

This would require quite some work i would say, if you do not see this too much of it as a personal thing, people might be willing/able to help you with this. Not me btw

Anyhow interesting, i'll check up on it later on to see if i have some valuable comments.
