Sorry I’ve been away from my blog for so long – I’ve been busy, mostly with playing recitals (search Alan Fraser Stuttgart on YouTube to see one of them) and finishing my next book, All Thumbs: Well-Coordinated Piano Technique. But today I want to write about something else.
It has been hectic here – in Serbia both Christmas and New Year’s are celebrated twice so we still haven’t seen the end of it – while I have been practicing more than celebrating for my recitals next week in Novi Sad and Stuttgart. After the master class in Stuttgart I’ll be visiting Phil Cohen in Montreal to pick his brain about what’s new in the high end piano technique business… It always pays to go back to your sources…
I grew up in Montreal and went to Lower Canada College, still one of the best schools in Canada. The Lion, the school magazine recently did an issue on the arts and asked me to write a few words on how my LCC experience affected my career in the arts. You can read the article (beginning on page 42) here: LCC Interview with Alan Fraser . The pdf file is high resolution so it takes awhile to upload but I hope you’ll find it worth the wait.
