SUMMARY:Franz Liszt\, Claudio Arrau\, and Bennett Lerner: A Musical Family Tree
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nThis event features the screening of the 2021 documentary movie\, “Piano Lessons: The Life and Art of German Diez-Nieto”\, followed by an interview with Bennett Lerner and filmmaker and pianist\, Francesca Khalifa\, and a discussion with the audience.  In addition\, throughout the discussion\, there will be piano demonstrations by our presenters. \nThe film tells the story of Cuban pianist\, German Diez-Nieto\, who was a long-time pupil and assistant of the world-famous piano virtuoso\, Claudio Arrau\, and\, therefore\, a direct heir to the piano tradition of Liszt and Beethoven.  The discussion will focus on the process of transmission of a treasured and historically-important tradition of piano teaching and musical artistry. \nUp to now\, there has been no formal research into the topic of the modern inheritors of the piano tradition of Franz Liszt.  The film\, co-authored and co-produced by the Italian filmmaker\, Antongiulio Panizzi (Netflix\, RAI)\, and the Italian-Egyptian pianist and scholar\, Francesca Khalifa\, highlights how Diez-Nieto’s teaching shaped a generation of important musicians\, including Grammy-nominated pianist\, Erika Nickrenz\, Grammy-winning composer and pianist\, Joan Tower\, and the beloved American pianist and Payap Professor Emeritus\, Bennett Lerner\, through all of whom Liszt’s teachings were passed on to future generations. The documentary was selected for showings at prestigious festivals\, such as the 39th International Turin Film Festival and the Orchestra di Mantova Festival. It has received the official endorsement of the American Liszt Society. \nPresenters:\nFrancesca Khalifa:\nItalian-Egyptian pianist\, scholar\, and filmmaker and Bennett Lerner\, American pianist and Professor Emeritus of Payap University. Francesca Khalifa’s prime pianistic mentor was the Cuban pianist and pedagogue\, German Diez-Nieto\, a protégé of the world-famous piano virtuoso\, Claudio Arrau. \nMs. Khalifa has won first prizes in the Ferrara International Piano Festival\, the Schio International Piano Competition\, the Premio Loreto Lancia International Piano Competition\, and the Niccolò van Westerhout Competition.
