It is truly wonderful and inspiring to see dear Maria here, joining many in teaching remotely throughout the world. In a pre-pandemic world, most successful artists did not have the need to go online to teach, since they enjoyed the in-person teaching experience. I remember teaching online in 2006 when Skype was the main vehicle for doing so. It is tragic that the pandemic has forced many to retool their gifts and share them in different ways, but enlightening to witness the expansion of this medium with many brilliant people doing so. Keep the music flowing throughout the world, and good health and good luck to Maria, one of our blessed gifts.
A buck is a buck is a buck.what people will do for the buck……….
…why not just say ‘change the b for an f?’ Ludicrous comment – she is a highly principled woman who has done much for society and whose care for a quick buck is non existent.
It is now ……..
And what do you think freelance musicians should otherwise live of? Performing for free? Go and Jaywalk somewhere else.
How crass, Jay. How very crass.
Maria Joao Pires is, as Jeffrey Biegel writes, “one of our blessed gifts”.
Get a life!
BS– the art form like most art forms demands a one to one human exchangewhen being taught.The screen is not a human being– the sound of the piano as picked up
by a computer is not the true sound which already makes the lesson a false study.It’s a gimmick for a quick buck..
You probably think that wearing masks and being quarantined are gimmicks too, Jay.

BS indeed.

Legendary.
She must be an incredible teacher. Great news.
Suggestes financial désespoir / similar problem . . .
You don’t have any other photo of her to use? Why is it so important for you to continue to embarass her by using a photo of an incident that occured long ago? Unless someone knows the context of the photo, they won’t understand the situation.
Show some respect.
What a terrible headline and one line ‘story’.
She explains in the video that she is doing this to continue teaching in light of Covid; she does not need to advertise for students.
What a wonderful lifelong duo with Augustin Dumay
Yes! Their disc of Brahms vn/pa sonatas is superb.
As is their set of Beethoven sonatas!
Does anyone know if Pires still runs a school. paper manufactury, and other suchenterprises to benefit the youth of the area from her estancia in eastern Portugal, along the border with Extremadura, Spain, where Esteban Sanchez lived and died? I hope so.
