International Piano (IP) incorporates International Piano (formally International Piano Quarterly) and Piano magazine. It is written for pianists and discerning fans of piano music.

Each bi-monthly issue includes interviews with top pianists and rising talent, performance tips, news, features, analysis and comment. You will find exclusive tutorials by concert artists, in-depth articles on piano recordings and repertoire, masterclasses on piano technique, and festival, concert and competition reports from around the globe.

Regular columns include ‘Better late than never’ (for adult beginner pianists), ‘Accompanist’s Diary’, ‘Letter from America’ and ‘Take Five’, covering jazz piano greats. Every edition includes a five-page Symposium, hosted by Jeremy Siepmann, which brings together leading experts and international pianists for a round-table debate.

Our comprehensive reviews section examines the latest CDs, books, DVDs, sheet music, new instruments and accessories.

Plus, each issue includes free sheet music – often rare or newly released works – for readers to add to their collections.
