Every Good (Boy) Does Fine

4/11/2022

 
One of the many pianists that I admire today is Jeremy Denk.  I have suggested to many of you to watch the marvelous videos of Jeremy performing some of the Bach Goldberg Variations on Apple music.  I find his focus and concentration, his thoughts when he describes so compelling.  Jeremy has a book called Every Good Boy Does Fine; I have on order and am looking forward to reading!  I recently watched a video of an interview with Jeremy discussing "why practice matters" on CBS Sunday Morning (I link it here for you).  Jeremy is a witty writer, as well as a pianist, and I have read many of his Blogs on his website.  Jeremy is also a MacArthur Genius Grant awardee; no slouch there!  And I highly recommend a recording from 2012: Ligeti/Beethoven.  He plays the very thorny, but amazing etudes by Ligeti, coupled with the last Sonata No. 32 by Beethoven.  Seek this one out, and let me know what you think!
