Piano Lessons With Frederic Chopin
Posted by admin on 05/29/08 in Arts and Entertainment
Frederic Chopin was alone among the great composers in that he made his living almost entirely from teaching piano.
During the period around the 1840’s he was the most famous piano teacher in Paris, largely because he was also one of the most famous and beloved composers in the world.
His roster of students contained many great and good pianists, among them Mikuli, who became the editor of Chopin’s printed piano music.
Chopin taught at home in a lavish, well appointed studio. It contained two pianos: one beautiful Erard grand, on which the student played, and a small cottage upright, at which the master sat and demonstrated.
