I've had my first online piano lesson, courtesy of the new edition of Bernstein's Anniversaries. The Anniversaries idea is one which followed Bernstein throughout his working life. The first set, Four Anniversaries, was written when the composer was 29, while the last set was penned just two years before his death in 1990. This collection draws on all four sets of miniatures, reproducing 16 out of the 29 in one easy to manage edition.
To accompany the collection, editor Michael Mizrahi provides 11 short video lessons, discussing the various techniques involved in each Anniversary. For philomaths out there, some of these techniques are applicable to multiple pieces.
