July 24 - Peter Serkin (The Musical Birthday Series)

Peter Serkin (b. 24 July 1947) is a remarkable pianist and teacher, and of course, son of Rudolf Serkin.

Peter Serkin likes to play

Pieces written in our day.

Repertoire for him extends

From the classics to his friends,

World premieres some find off putting

Played with Bach on equal footing.

Practice hard and get your work in 

If you want to play like Serkin.
