Maria Curcio changed my life as a pianist and a person. I studied with her from 1991-1994, living in a spare bedroom in her apartment (featured here) for my last year in London. This documentary was made just before my period of study with her, but features many of her great students that I was looking up to while studying with her. I cannot express how moved I am to see this documentary after many years, and to be reminded of all I learned during my time in London, both musically and personally. I will be forever grateful for every moment I had with Maria.
Her saying the word "Beautiful," at the end of the video; watching her work with students; watching her eyes, her hands, her posture, her singing; just enhanced my understanding of life and music.
I had the great honor to study with this fantastic person for 3 years. Her presence not only shaped my playing, she shaped the way I live my life. Maria have us more gifts than we can count and I will be forever grateful!
