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

The Yellow River Concerto
on: September 21, 2012, 03:07:08 PM
Hey there! I was finally given the opportunity to learn a concerto (yay  :)) Teacher suggested that I play the Yellow River concerto which I think is simply gorgeous (a bit cheesy but still amazing) which I wouldn't mind learning up at the slightest but after hearing a recording of it some of the piano parts seemed to have seemingly difficult sections which worried me a little.

It would be simply amazing if anyone could share an insight into this piece!

Thank you!

edit: Oh dear, I hope I didin't post this in the wrong forum! Whoops!

That's great!! Learning a concerto is something I don't think I can/would ever do in my piano life (maybe the Schumann A minor, but maybe not). The Yellow River Concerto is totally Lisztian in style, hence all the flashy bits, but it's a nice, small-scaled concerto to learn.
