Josef and Rosina Lhévinne and the Russian Piano School

Josef and Rosina Lhévinne were a formidable partnership in the piano world. Both renowned teachers, Josef toured and gave many solo recitals. He also performed two piano concerts with his wife. Rosina became a celebrated teacher at the Juilliard School in New York. The film linked here gives a real insight into the Lhévinne method of teaching.

In the film, American pianist John Browning demonstrates elements of piano playing synonymous with the Lhévinne’s teaching.
