Leçon de piano, leçon de solfège ...

Vladimir Horowitz,

Né en 1903 dans l’Empire russe et mort en 1989 à New York, Vladimir Horowitz, fut un pianiste russe naturalisé américain, considéré comme l’un des plus grands virtuoses de l’histoire. Admiré pour la puissance et la finesse de son jeu, il était unanimement reconnu comme le plus grand pianiste de son époque.

La famille Horowitz, issue de la bourgeoisie juive cultivée de l’Empire russe, comptait plusieurs musiciens talentueux, notamment de bons pianistes et compositeurs.

Sa mère Sofia Horowitz était elle-même pianiste, et lui enseigna le piano dès l’âge de 5 ans.

En 1912, il entre au conservatoire de Kiev.

Il découvre Paris en 1926, et sa réputation le devance : bien qu’il soit encore inconnu du grand public, les professionnels, critiques, et spectateurs sont séduits par un style de jeu rappelant celui des grands virtuoses du XIXᵉ siècle.
Il y donne une série de concerts les dix années suivantes et fait sensation : au Conservatoire de Paris, à l’Opéra de Paris.

Il est accepté dans les cercles les plus prisés, en premier la maison de la princesse de Polignac.

Si Horowitz joue beaucoup en Allemagne, il fait de Paris son quartier général, où Il a un petit appartement rue Kléber.

Il y rencontre de nombreux artistes et compositeurs, dont Ravel.

Il découvre New York en 1928, où il se fixe à New York jusqu’en 1939,

Il y rencontre son idole Serge Rachmaninov, et épouse Wanda Toscanin.

Dans les années 1980, il donne plusieurs concerts à Londres, à Paris, puis à Moscou, et dans le monde entier.

Arthur Rubinstein l’entend jouer à Paris et décide de réviser toute sa technique.

Il meurt chez lui, à New York, le 5 novembre, d’une crise cardiaque. Il est inhumé au cimetière monumental de Milan.

Technique

Vladimir Horowitz présente une technique atypique : Ses poignets son bas ;
ses paumes de mains et ses doigts sont plutôt droits, disposés à plat, là où les autres pianistes adoptent une posture arquée et arrondie^[6].

Il possédait un jeu très clair sur un clavier très léger avec des touches qui réagissaient au moindre effleurement. Donc un jeu à grand risque.

Sa riche palette de couleurs provenait d’un amour du chant, d’une grande imagination sonore et d’un usage des pédales autorisant des alliages harmoniques inconnus avant lui. Ce jeu fait merveille dans la musique romantique, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt et Rachmaninov en particulier.
