The Ukrainian piano traditions are
indisputably great: let us maintain that from the actual Ukraine's territory
came such piano masters as Sviatoslav
Richter, Emil
Gilels, Benno
Moiseiwitch, Simon
Barrere and before all – born in Berditchev, educated in Kharkov and
Kiev – Vladimir Horowitz...
In the West-Ukraine in the late years
of the XIX Century and at the beginning of the XX Century have lived in Elisavetgrad and creatively
worked such famous families as Szymanowski
and Neuhaus; their
truly close friends were Arthur
Rubinstein and Paweł Kochanski.
Mrs. Oxana Rapita belongs to this great
tradition; she studied and graduated from the 'M. Lysenko' State
Conservatory of Music in Lviv (Ukraine) under Prof. Lydia Krykh.
Postgraduate studies she has completed in the 'Gnesine'
Musical-Pedagogic Institute in Moscow under Prof. Alexandr Alexandrov.
Since 1990 Mrs. Oxana Rapita works at
the Piano Chair of the 'M. Lysenko' State Academy of Music in Lviv
(Ukraine); from 1994 as well she guides the piano class in the 'S.
Krushelnitska' Special Music School in Lviv (a School for the
especially talented youth).
Among Mrs. Rapita's students
are numerous laureates of international and domestic (Ukrainian) piano competitions;
many of her former students continue the postgraduate studies, after
others, in Germany and Poland.
