György Sebők: Pedagogical Highlights From a Master
György Sebők (November 2, 1922 - November 14, 1999) is one of the most distinguished pedagogues of the 20th century, and his influence on my artistic development has been invaluable. Despite the absence of any particular method he followed, he was able to recognise the student's personality, motivation, and fear with great accuracy. The high level of eloquence and insight that he exhibited in his lessons are a few of the most outstanding features of his teaching approach. Throughout his serene character, he could leave memorable phrases that encapsulated the essence of what he believed. This year marks the 100th anniversary of his birth, and this document renders a tribute to his masterclasses from the year 1987 at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Gravenhage.
