Trends in Pianists' Schools

[rubinsteinmad]

Hi people,\

 Ive noticed that many of my favorite pianists studied at either the Paris Conservatoire or Moscow Conservatory.

My favorite young (teenage or younger) pianists mostly come from Curtis (in Philadelphia) now.

(edit: jk, all of the old French guys were from the Conservatoire)

younger pianists: Arsenii Mun goes to some Special Lyceum whatever thingamabob in St. Petersburg

Helene Grimaude, David Fray, Jean-yves Thibaudet, Alexandre Tharaud, and some other people.


P.S. On a Bing ssearch, it claims Andre LaPlante studied at Juillard!!!!!
But its kind of funny how he never mentions it on his lengthy website biography, nor on his Wikipedia Page.

I am inclined to believe that good schools are good mostly because they attract good students. A music school is not a miracle worker, their excellent teachers bring out what is already within their students.
