It’s time for a masterclass and today’s offering was recorded at the Royal College of Music in London during October 2020. Taking place in the RCM’s Performance Hall, the class was given by renowned British-born pianist Freddy Kempf, who worked with two young RCM students, Nataly Ganina and Kirill Zheleznov; they performed Chopin’s Scherzo No. 3 in C-sharp minor Op. 39 and Beethoven’s Sonata No. 26 in E flat major Op. 81a.
I hope you enjoy this class – I watched it ‘live-streamed’ and was fascinated, as always. I particularly appreciated Freddy’s tips on voicing, and loved how he addressed the audience, asking for their thoughts on the performance, too.

For much more information about how to practice piano repertoire, take a look at my piano course, Play it again: PIANO (published by Schott Music). Covering a huge array of styles and genres, the course features a large collection of progressive, graded piano repertoire from approximately Grade 1 to advanced diploma level, with copious practice tips for every piece. A convenient and beneficial course for students of any age, with or without a teacher, and it can also be used alongside piano examination syllabuses too.
