David Breitman is offering a seminar on Classical and Romantic Performance Practice at CWRU for the spring semester of 2026.  He has been on the faculty at Oberlin Conservatory since 1991, where he teaches fortepiano and clavichord as well as courses in performance practice. He has recorded all of Beethoven’s violin sonatas with Elizabeth Wallfisch, the cello sonatas with Jaap ter Linden, the Mozart violin sonatas with Jean-François Rivest, as well as 4 CD of vocal music with the late Sanford Sylvan, whom he partnered in recital for over 30 years.  In a collaboration of a different sort, he is one of seven fortepianists on the 10-CD recording of the complete Beethoven piano sonata cycle on CLAVES.  With his book, Piano-Playing Revisited: What Modern Players Can Learn from Period Instruments which appeared to critical acclaim in 2021, Breitman summarizes a lifetime of experience as a performer and teacher.
