Alexander Braginsky
Edit ProfileCareer
After first spending a couple of years in the United Kingdom he then moved to the United States of America. He teaches piano at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis and at the Hamline University, Saint Paul. He has recorded a number of works, including Shostakovich"s 24 Preludes (op34), Piano Sonata Number.2 (op61), and Sonata for Violoncello and Piano (op40). A number of composers had their works premiered by Braginsky, including the Minnesota-based Stephen Paulus and Libby Larsen.
Braginsky realized the possibility of combining his piano artistry with the computer technology of the late 1980s, adding a novel dimension to his performances.
In 2002 Braginsky founded the international Piano-e-Competition that occurs every two years and features the Disklavier-Pro pianos, produced by Yamaha. Braginsky has served on the juries of prominent competitions worldwide.
He has taught a number of pianists, some receiving critical acclaim.
