31: Edna Golandsky Inspiring Us All in a Lecture on Passages from Chopin
Today's episode is from the Golandsky Institute Online Workshop on August 6, 2020 in the heart of the global pandemic. Our founder, Edna Golandsky, answers questions related to passages in Chopin.
Of note is the first 6 minutes or so of the presentation. Edna brings to our attention the clear idea of which, yes, the Taubman Approach can help with the reversal of injuries and bring healing to pianists. However, there is so much more to this approach. The heights of where the technique can take you is limitless.
Encountering this work at a surface level will help you. In a previous episode with the pianist Robert Dvorkin, Robert remarks that encountering the Taubman Approach for the first time is like taking the thorn out of the lion''s paw - but that is only the beginning. When a pianist invests in understanding this work and studying it deeply with a qualified teacher, the rewards are immense artistically.
So without further comments, let's get into today's episode.
