‘The origins of professional piano performance in Russia go back to the time when a 20-year-old Dubliner, John Field arrived in Russia and settled for good. Among Field’s many distinguished students were composer Mikhail Glinka and Alexander Dubuque. Dubuque’s numerous students included the composer Mily Balakirev and Nikolai Zverev, who, in turn, taught the young Sergei Rachmaninov and Alexander Scriabin.’ - Anatole Leikin 

Field sowed the seeds of the Russian melodic piano style, with its characteristic beauty of tone which make the piano sing.

Presented by Svetlana Rudenko
