Pedagogical activity of pianist T.P. Kravchenko within the framework of international co-operation of the Soviet Chinese school of piano art

The article is dedicated to the remarkable pianist and piano teacher - Tatyana Petrovna Kravchenko (1916-2003) - an outstanding personality, distinguished by her extraordinary ability to work and dedication to her work. On her creative path, Tatyana Petrovna had to re-open the book of life more than once from a new chapter, which happened in 1957, when, already an honored teacher, candidate of sciences and a recognized master of piano art, she left the country at the invitation with her mother and daughter to distant China to help Chinese musical youth master the art of pianoforte. The article uses materials from Chinese funds and memories of Tatyana Petrovna's students, since there is no special literature about her performing and teaching experience.
