In issue 79 of Pianist Daniil Trofonov talks to Jessica Duchen at London’s Barbican Centre before he steps on to the stage to perform Chopin’s Concerto No 2 with the London Symphony Orchestra.

For our 40-page pullout Scores section, editor Erica Worth has handpicked some delightful pieces including:
The moving Mendelssohn Song Without Words op 30 no 3 (perfect for the intermediate pianist) with a ‘How to Play’ on it from Janet Newman
An advanced lesson on the Schumann Romance No 2 (a real find)
Other pieces include a delightful Massenet Barcarolle, a Brahms waltz, another Latin style Cuban Dance from Cervantes and much more.
We also feature a Prelude and Fugue from Bach’s famous ‘48’, with an article by Bach expert pianist Daniel-Ben Pienaar, who explains how to get your Bach up to scratch. Plus, all beginner pieces have notation written within the music, giving bar-by-bar technical advice.

Our ‘Masterclass’ articles include Graham Fitch on dealing with tricky spots and Mark Tanner on dynamics. We show you how to start your own piano club; have a focus on the famous jazz club Ronnie Scott’s and share information on a new Martha Argerich film.

Make sure you visit the Pianist TV channel to watch piano lessons by John Maul, Tim Stein and Graham Fitch. Plus, you can also watch our house pianist Chenyin Li perform some of the pieces featured inside the Scores.
