As I've said before on this thread, Richard Meyrick comes from (and as far as I'm aware still teaches in) my home town. He is an extremely popular teacher...firm but fair, only wanting the best for his pupils. I know this because he taught the mother of a friend of mine.

I can't believe he only does this in order to promote himself or to take credit for developing students that come to him from other teachers.

I've seen him once in a recital and have two of his CD's...one of them being the Beethoven Sonatas. To my mind, he's up there with the best.

Agree that the poster needs to explain how he came to such an opinion.
