MVP and Persoanal Psychology Coach/ Advisor
May, 2001 - Oct, 2008APA
Inventor of methodology in training, inventing new games to sharpen the mind, the eye and the psychology of performance. As a performer in my field and a student of Irving Crane, who was a 12 time world champion and champion of champions many times, I have enjoyed bringing players to levels they have not thought possible. My own progress is akin to meditation and as such I improve while finding out more about the substance of things. I enjoy sharing this unique approach and process with my students. Some of the greatest musicians such as Mozart and writers such as Mark Twain have been known to admire and treasure this artful game. I have been fortunate to take my team to a point of going to Las Vegas for tournaments and to win money as prizes for their playing. However, it will always be a peaceful self discovery to me.

The common these was the psychology of performance and the thread of inspiration that tied all of these fields together in self awareness. I teach many subjects based on these principles.

Professional Review And Historical Reference Placement
May, 2014Braavo Enterprises
Braavo Enterprises Review and Assessment: I've never heard live performance better than this. In comparison to historic sound recordings, it definitely surpasses Horowitz, Cziffra, and Ogdon in emotionality of expression and proportionality of form. The program is vividly presented in a cycle manner, typical for Liszt - like his 2nd piano concerto or Sonata - with the same theme passing transformations from dramatic sonata to lyrical slow movement, then grotesque scherzo and buoyant finale. The dramatic content here is passed through all these stages with amazing clarity, demonstrating different facets at each stage. This performance comes close to challenge alternative readings by Egon Petri, with his Busonish expressionistic "non-legato" inhumanity of Satanic evocation; or Alexander Brailowsky, with his irresistibility of dance; or Sviatoslav Richter, crushing with Mephisto's powers towards the end the seduced listener (1958 version). It is great to know that we still have an artist who can play like that today!
