Ilona Kabos (7 December 189327 May 1973) was a Hungarian-British pianist and teacher. ==Biography== Ilona Kabos was born in Budapest in 1893〔 (some sources give her year of birth as 1894, 1898 or 1902). She studied at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music under Arpad Szendy (a pupil of Franz Liszt), Leo Weiner and Zoltán Kodály, and in 1915 she won the Liszt Prize. In the early part of her career, she played for Ferruccio Busoni, who also played for her.〔 She toured widely, giving a number of premiere performances of works by such composers as Kodály, Weiner, Béla Bartók, Luigi Dallapiccola, Roy Harris, Carlos Chávez and Mátyás Seiber.〔 She made her American debut in 1951.〔 She taught at the Royal Budapest Academy of Music from 1930 through 1936. Ilona Kabos was married to her fellow Hungarian pianist Louis Kentner, and they made their home in London. It is claimed that her pianism was superior to that of his.〔 In November 1942 Kabos and Kentner gave the world premiere of Bartók's Concerto for Two Pianos, Percussion and Orchestra in London.〔"Concerts", ''The Times'', 14 November 1942, p. 8〕 She premiered Robert Crawford's ''Six Bagatelles'', Op. 3 (1948).〔(Wrightmusic.net )〕 Her marriage ended in 1945, when Kentner left her for Griselda Gould (daughter of the British pianist Evelyn Suart, and the sister of the ballerina Diana Gould, who was Yehudi Menuhin's second wife). Ilona Kabos's greatest legacy is as a teacher of other pianists. She gave master classes, and taught both privately and at institutions such as Dartington Summer School〔 and the Juilliard School (from 1965, at the express invitation of Peter Mennin; Kabos and Rosina Lhévinne often exchanged students).〔(Andrea Olmstead, Juilliard: a history )〕 Her better-known students include: Susan Alexander-Max, David Bollard,〔(Anthony Maydwell, Piano Teaching: A Guide for Nurturing Musical Independence )〕 Robert Cuckson,〔(Curtis Institute of Music )〕 Monte Hill Davis, Norma Fisher,〔〔(London Masterclasses )〕 Peter Frankl,〔 Joan Havill,〔(Piano Summer School )〕 Niel Immelman, William Corbett Jones, Joseph Kalichstein,〔〔(Audiofon Records )〕 David Oei, John Ogdon,〔 Denver Oldham, Kun-Woo Paik, Alberto Portugheis, Staffan Scheja,〔(O/modernt )〕 Roberto Szidon and Alan Weiss. Other students included: Paul Burke,〔(UK Piano Tuners )〕 Nigel Coxe,〔(Amherst Bulletin )〕 David-Michael Dunbar,〔(Piano Accompanists )〕 Marilyn Engle,〔()〕 Meira Farkas, Jonathan Miles Freeman,〔(Piano Clips )〕 Otto Freudenthal,〔(SKANDINAVISKA FÖRENINGENS KONSTNÄRSHUS )〕 Nancy Burton Garrett,〔(University of Texas at Austin )〕 Derek Han,〔(Arts Management Group )〕 Robin Harrison,〔()〕 Emanuel Krasovsky,〔(), (Tel-Hai International Piano Master Classes )〕 Risto Lauriala,〔(Bach Cantatas )〕 Dana Muller,〔()〕 Thalia Myers,〔(Thalia Myers.com )〕 Marios Papadopoulos, Joel Sachs,〔(Juilliard )〕 Jeffrey Siegel,〔(Keyboard Conversations )〕 and Sérgio Varella-Cid.,〔(Bach Cantatas )〕 Veda Zuponcic. Her teaching method included scribbling on the music during her lessons. She was given to writing "bold directions in red crayon, right across the page, in huge letters, gratuitous slashes".〔(John Robert Brown )〕 The crayon was actually a china marker, wrapped in paper. She was also the musical advisor for a number of films: ''Murder in the Cathedral'' (1951), ''The Fake'' (1953), ''The Diamond'' (1954), ''Jet Storm'' (1959), and ''The Hands of Orlac'' (1960).〔(IMDb: Ilona Kabos )〕 A hostel for Ilona Kabos's students was established in Finchley, North London, by Charles Napper.〔 She died in London in 1973, aged 79.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ilona Kabos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
