АРАМ ТАТУЛЯН — ПРЕДСТАВИТЕЛЬ ШКОЛЫ А. Б. ГОЛЬДЕНВЕЙЗЕРА В КИТАЕ

Abstract

The article analyzes for the first time the adaptation in China of the largest piano school of the Moscow Conservatory — the school of A. B. Goldenweiser. Aram Tatulyan was his student at the Moscow Conservatory in 1930s–1940s. Each pianist-teacher relies on the school he received, and this was the case with Aram Tatulyan. His name is now almost forgotten in Russia, but is deeply revered in China, where he became one of the pioneers at the piano faculty. The lessons of young Chinese pianists with talented Russian teachers have been crowned more than once with victories at international competitions, including the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. The key to the amazing success of Liu Shikong, Yin Chengzong, Zhou Guangren and others was the assimilation of pedagogical principles and methods of the Russian school — particularly A. B. Goldenweiser. By passing on his experience to Chinese students, Tatulyan laid a solid foundation for the formation and future flourishing of the pianist specialty in China. The scientific objectives of the article are to reconstruct Tatulyan's learning path according to the archives of the Moscow Conservatory, as well as to form a generalized idea of the fundamentals and methods of A. B. Goldenweiser's piano school.
