Bösendorfer International Piano Academy - Vienna                      back to main page
 
During the month of June, 2000, I taught at the Bösendorfer International Piano Academy in Vienna.  I took five of my students who studied with Prof. Wolfgang Watsinger and Prof. Krassimira Jordan.  After three weeks of intensive practice and lessons, we visited Prague, Budapest, and while I was on a concert tour of Greece, the students traveled to Salzburg.

In Heiligenstadt at the "Beethovengang" where Beethoven walked among the woods for solace from the insanity of urban life in early 19th century Vienna.  It was on these peaceful walks in the woods that Beethoven received much of his compositional inspiration.
