John Cage SONATAS AND INTERLUDES, Louis Goldstein piano, at the Reynolda House Museum of American Art in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, October 7 1982. Dr Goldstein's lecture "John Cage and the birth of Prepared Piano" which preceded this performance can be heard at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoKLr6g6Q-I Dr. Lewis Goldstein has been on the music faculty at Wake Forest University since 1989, where he teaches Piano, Piano Literature, First Year Seminars, and Introduction to Western Music. Long fascinated with music of his own time, Dr. Goldstein was co-founder and co-director of the California New Music Ensemble and an associate member of the Los Angeles Group for Contemporary Music and Newband, in New York City. In ensembles and as a soloist, he has championed cutting edge work of current composers. His faculty recitals at Wake Forest present an absorbing blend of past masters such as Haydn, Beethoven, and Debussy, 20th-century giants such as Copland and Stockhausen, and the latest innovations of today. His CD recordings of John Cage's Sonatas and Interludes, Dream, and One5, and Morton Feldman's Triadic Memorieshave garnered accolades from print and internet sources as well as fellow musicians. His most recent recording, of Morton Feldman's For Bunita Marcus (Nuscope Recordings), ranked in the top 10 modern composition recordings of 2010 by The Wire Magazine. Another special interest of Dr. Goldstein's is American music. For 15 years he was on the faculty of the American Foundations Program at the Reynolda House Museum of American Art. He is also an active member of the Society for American Music. Over the years, Dr. Goldstein has been active as a recitalist, accompanist, and ensemble member, and has appeared as a soloist in such venues as New England Conservatory, Yale, Carnegie Recital Hall, the Universities of Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida State, as well as in Canada, The Netherlands, Czechoslovakia, and Israel. Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 1947, Louis Goldstein's early piano study was with a wonderful private teacher named Margaret Schmitt. Further studies occurred at Interlochen Arts Academy, Oberlin College Conservatory of Music (BM), California Institute of the Arts (MFA), and Eastman School of Music (DMA and Performer's Certificate), including piano study with Joseph Hungate, Rudolf Ganz, Leonid Hambro, and David Burge.
