Does here exist any other “failure” except of Chopins innovatory, that could influence on his Method’s misunderstanding among the piano teachers in the XIX century and later, too?
– Chopin’s Method has been described in a form of the short sketch only; though, herein could been found sufficiently many extensive sentences, which enlighten Chopin’s personal piano pedagogic strategy and give possibility to rightful reconstruction of the main idea of his method. Across the whole XIX and XX Century, the strictly mechanical way of practicing the piano has been persistently maintained by majority of the piano teachers, who strongly believed in possibility to achieve the brilliant instrumental technique just via strengthening of the fingers and via endless repeating of scales, arpeggios, chords etc. The pianists’ comprehension of the piano-instrumental schooling becomes heavily dominated by this obsessive, ill-mannered routine. The Chopin’s Method provokes to creativity; it changes specificity of the whole process – the pianist cannot evermore be passive. As well it changes specificity of teaching the piano: the teachers become more ‘co-searchers’ than ‘speaking prophet
