DONALD BETTS

Of the many celebrated composers born around 1810 (even a short list of first-rate composers would include Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Wagner, and Verdi), it is Frédéric Chopin (1810-49) whose music has proven the most widely enduring. While Liszt better typifies the virtuoso of the period, and Schumann and Berlioz more audaciously epitomize the Romantic spirit, Chopin emerges as PAUL CANTRELL'S PIANO RECORDING METHOD There's been some interest in how I make the recordings on In the Hands, so here's an explanation.It's my hope that this information not only satisfies the idle curiosity of those who want to know what the process looks like, but also helps make it possible for other pianists to produce recordings of their own.

IN THE HANDS

Visiting the house of my composer friend Matthew Smith (who has an outstanding CD out now, by the way), I noticed the score to Chopin’s E minor prelude out on the piano. It turns out that his wife, children’s book illustrator and author Lauren Stringer, is taking piano lessons, and she has been working on it.I was delighted — the piece is a favorite of mine.
