Message from Megumi Fujita Devastated
after losing my beloved teacher and mentor Irina Zaritskaya in
2001, I have felt so lost and all of my self confidence has vanished.
After 17 long years, I have regained my self confidence back again
at last! The thought process in essence is to 'recreate what I envisaged Chopin imagined for his 24 etudes', and to physically express it on the keyboard. I have recorded the etudes in Sweden, and have released the CD in May 2017. With the complete performance of the etudes, and the following masterclass, I hope to deepen your understanding of the greatness and the ingenuity of the etudes, and share the secret of playing the Chopin etudes for all piano lovers. |
