Kuchokera ku Cliburn

Harvey Levan Cliburn (Clyburn) anabadwa mu 1934 m'tauni yaing'ono ya Shreveport, kum'mwera kwa United States ku Louisiana. Bambo ake anali injiniya wa petroleum, choncho banjalo linkasamuka kaŵirikaŵiri m’malo osiyanasiyana. Ubwana wa Harvey Levan unadutsa kum'mwera kwenikweni kwa dziko, ku Texas, kumene banja lake linasamukira atangobadwa kumene.

Kale ndi zaka zinayi, mnyamatayo, yemwe dzina lake lachidule linali Van, anayamba kusonyeza luso lake loimba. Mphatso yapadera ya mnyamatayo inakopeka ndi amayi ake, Rildia Cliburn. Iye anali woimba piyano, wophunzira wa Arthur Friedheim, German woimba piyano, mphunzitsi, amene anali F. Liszt. Komabe, atakwatirana, sanachite ndipo adapereka moyo wake pakuphunzitsa nyimbo.

Patangotha ​​chaka chimodzi, adadziwa kale kuwerenga bwino kuchokera papepala komanso kuchokera ku repertoire ya wophunzira (Czerny, Clementi, St. Geller, etc.) adapita ku phunziro lachikale. Panthawi imeneyo, chochitika chinachitika chomwe chinasiya chizindikiro chosaiwalika m'chikumbukiro chake: mumzinda wa Cliburn wa Shreveport, Rachmaninoff wamkulu adapereka imodzi mwa masewera ake omaliza m'moyo wake. Kuyambira pamenepo, wakhala mpaka kalekale kukhala fano la woimba wamng'ono.

Patapita zaka zingapo, woimba piyano wotchuka José Iturbi anamva mnyamatayo akuimba. Anavomereza njira yophunzitsira ya amayi ake ndipo anamulangiza kuti asasinthe aphunzitsi kwa nthawi yaitali.

Panthawiyi, Cliburn wachichepere anali kupita patsogolo kwambiri. Mu 1947, adapambana mpikisano wa piyano ku Texas ndipo adapambana ufulu wosewera ndi gulu la Orchestra la Houston.

Kwa woyimba limba wamng'ono, kupambana kumeneku kunali kofunika kwambiri, chifukwa pa siteji yokha adatha kudzizindikira yekha ngati woimba weniweni kwa nthawi yoyamba. Komabe, mnyamatayo analephera nthawi yomweyo kupitiriza maphunziro ake nyimbo. Anaphunzira kwambiri ndiponso mwakhama moti anawononga thanzi lake, choncho maphunziro ake anayenera kuimitsa kwa kanthawi.

Patangotha ​​chaka chimodzi, madokotala anamulola Cliburn kupitiriza maphunziro ake, ndipo anapita ku New York kulowa Juilliard School of Music. Kusankhidwa kwa bungwe la maphunziro ili kunali kozindikira. Woyambitsa sukuluyi, katswiri wamakampani wa ku America A. Juilliard, adakhazikitsa maphunziro angapo omwe adaperekedwa kwa ophunzira aluso kwambiri.

Cliburn adapambana mayeso olowera ndikuvomerezedwa m'kalasi motsogozedwa ndi woyimba piyano wotchuka Rosina Levina, womaliza maphunziro a Moscow Conservatory, omwe adamaliza maphunziro ake pafupifupi nthawi imodzi ndi Rachmaninov.

Levina sanangowonjezera luso la Cliburn, komanso adakulitsa nyimbo zake. Wang adakhala woyimba piyano yemwe adachita bwino kwambiri kujambula zida zosiyanasiyana monga ma prelude ndi ma fugues a Bach ndi piano ya Prokofiev.

Komabe, ngakhale luso lapadera, kapena dipuloma ya kalasi yoyamba yomwe idalandira kumapeto kwa sukulu, komabe idatsimikizira ntchito yabwino. Cliburn adamva izi atangomaliza sukulu. Kuti apeze malo amphamvu mumagulu oimba, akuyamba kuchita bwino pamipikisano yosiyanasiyana ya nyimbo.

Cholemekezeka kwambiri chinali mphoto imene anapambana pa mpikisano woimira kwambiri dzina la E. Leventritt mu 1954. Unali mpikisano umene unadzutsa chidwi chowonjezereka cha oimba. Choyamba, izi zinali chifukwa cha oweruza ovomerezeka komanso okhwima.

"M'kati mwa mlungu umodzi," wotsutsa Chaysins analemba pambuyo pa mpikisano, "tinamva matalente owala ndi matanthauzidwe ambiri odabwitsa, koma Wang atamaliza kusewera, palibe amene anali ndi chikayikiro chilichonse ponena za dzina la wopambana."

Atachita bwino kwambiri pampikisano womaliza, Cliburn adalandira ufulu wochita nawo konsati muholo yayikulu kwambiri ku America - Carnegie Hall. Konsati yake inali yopambana kwambiri ndipo inabweretsa woyimba piyano angapo makontrakitala opindulitsa. Komabe, kwa zaka zitatu, Wang anayesa pachabe kupeza mgwirizano okhazikika kuchita. Kuonjezera apo, amayi ake adadwala mwadzidzidzi, ndipo Cliburn adayenera kusintha, kukhala mphunzitsi wa sukulu ya nyimbo.

Chaka cha 1957 chafika. Monga mwachizolowezi, Wang anali ndi ndalama zochepa komanso ziyembekezo zambiri. Palibenso kampani ina yamakonsati inamupatsanso makontilakiti ena. Zinkaoneka kuti ntchito ya woimba limba yatha. Zonse zinasintha foni ya Levina. Iye anauza Cliburn kuti anaganiza kuchita mpikisano wapadziko lonse wa oimba ku Moscow, ndipo anati ayenera kupita kumeneko. Kuphatikiza apo, adapereka ntchito zake pokonzekera. Kuti apeze ndalama zofunikira paulendo, Levina anatembenukira ku Rockefeller Foundation, yomwe inapereka Cliburn ndi maphunziro apadera kuti apite ku Moscow.

Zoona, woyimba limba mwiniyo akunena za zochitika izi mwanjira ina: "Ndinamva koyamba za mpikisano wa Tchaikovsky kuchokera kwa Alexander Greiner, Steinway impresario. Analandira kabuku kokhala ndi mfundo za mpikisanowo ndipo anandilembera kalata ku Texas, kumene banja langa linali kukhala. Kenako anaimba foni n’kunena kuti: “Uyenera kutero!” Nthawi yomweyo ndinachita chidwi ndi maganizo opita ku Moscow, chifukwa ndinkafunitsitsa kuona Tchalitchi cha St. Ndakhala ndikulakalaka kwa moyo wanga wonse kuyambira ndili ndi zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi pamene makolo anga anandipatsa buku la zithunzi za mbiri ya ana. Panali zithunzi ziwiri zomwe zinandipatsa chisangalalo chachikulu: chimodzi - Tchalitchi cha St. Basil, ndi china - Nyumba Yamalamulo ya London ndi Big Ben. Ndinkafunitsitsa kuwaona ndi maso anga moti ndinafunsa makolo anga kuti: “Kodi mungandiperekeze kumeneko?” Iwo, osaona kufunika kwa zokambirana za ana, anavomera. Choncho, ndinanyamuka ulendo wopita ku Prague, ndipo kuchokera ku Prague kupita ku Moscow pa ndege ya Soviet jet ya Tu-104. Panthawiyo tinalibe ndege zonyamula anthu ku United States, choncho unali ulendo wosangalatsa basi. Tinafika madzulo, cha m’ma XNUMX koloko. Pansi pake panali chisanu ndipo zonse zinkawoneka zachikondi kwambiri. Zonse zinali monga ndimalota. Ndinalandilidwa ndi mayi wina wabwino kwambiri wochokera ku Unduna wa Zachikhalidwe. Ndinafunsa kuti: “Kodi n’zosatheka kudutsa St. Iye anayankha kuti: “Ndithu, mungathe!” Mwachidule, tinapita kumeneko. Ndipo pamene ndinafika pa Red Square, ndinamva kuti mtima wanga watsala pang’ono kusiya chisangalalo. Cholinga chachikulu chaulendo wanga chakwaniritsidwa kale ... "

Mpikisano wa Tchaikovsky unasintha kwambiri mbiri ya Cliburn. Moyo wonse wa wojambulayo unagawidwa m'magawo awiri: choyamba, chinakhala mosadziwika bwino, ndipo chachiwiri - nthawi ya kutchuka kwa dziko, yomwe inabweretsedwa ndi likulu la Soviet.

Cliburn anali kale wopambana m'mipikisano yoyamba ya mpikisano. Koma pambuyo ntchito yake ndi makonsati Tchaikovsky ndi Rachmaninov mu kuzungulira lachitatu, zinaonekeratu kuti ndi talente yaikulu yagona mwa woimba wamng'ono.

Chigamulo cha oweruza chinali chimodzi. Van Cliburn adapatsidwa malo oyamba. Pamsonkhanowo, D. Shostakovich anapereka mendulo ndi mphoto kwa opambanawo.

Akatswiri akuluakulu a zaluso za Soviet ndi zakunja adawonekera masiku ano m'manyuzipepala ndi ndemanga zabwino kuchokera kwa woyimba piyano waku America.

"Van Clyburn, woimba piyano wa ku America wazaka makumi awiri ndi zitatu, adadziwonetsa yekha kuti ndi wojambula kwambiri, woimba wa luso losowa komanso zotheka zopanda malire," analemba E. Gilels. "Uyu ndi woimba waluso kwambiri, yemwe luso lake limakopa ndi zinthu zakuya, ufulu waukadaulo, kuphatikiza kogwirizana kwa mikhalidwe yonse yomwe ili mwa oimba piyano," adatero P. Vladigerov. "Ndimaona Van Clyburn kukhala woimba piyano waluso kwambiri ... Kupambana kwake pampikisano wovuta wotere kungatchulidwe kuti ndi wanzeru," anatero S. Richter.

Ndipo izi ndi zomwe woyimba piyano komanso mphunzitsi wodabwitsa GG Neuhaus adalemba: "Choncho, naivety amagonjetsa choyamba mitima ya mamiliyoni a omvera a Van Cliburn. Kwa izo ziyenera kuwonjezeredwa zonse zomwe zingawoneke ndi maso, kapena kani, zimamveka ndi khutu lamaliseche mukusewera kwake: kuwonetseratu, kukondana, luso la pianistic lalikulu, mphamvu yaikulu, komanso kufewa ndi kuona mtima kwa phokoso, Kukhoza kubadwanso, komabe, sikunafikebe malire (mwina chifukwa cha unyamata wake), kupuma kwakukulu, "pafupi". Kupanga kwake nyimbo sikumamulola nthawi zonse (mosiyana ndi oimba piyano ambiri) kuti atenge tempos yothamanga kwambiri, "kuyendetsa" chidutswa. Kumveka bwino komanso kumveka kwa mawuwa, polyphony yabwino kwambiri, tanthauzo lathunthu - munthu sangawerenge chilichonse chomwe chimasangalatsa pakusewera kwa Cliburn. Zikuwoneka kwa ine (ndipo ndikuganiza kuti izi siziri kumverera kwanga kokha) kuti ndi wotsatira weniweni wowala wa Rachmaninov, yemwe kuyambira ali mwana adakumana ndi chithumwa chonse komanso chikoka cha ziwanda cha kusewera kwa woyimba piyano wamkulu waku Russia.

Kupambana kwa Cliburn ku Moscow, koyamba m'mbiri ya International Competition. Tchaikovsky ngati bingu anakantha okonda nyimbo American ndi akatswiri, amene akanangodandaula za ugonthi wawo ndi khungu. “A Russia sanapeze Van Cliburn,” Chisins analemba m’magazini ya The Reporter. "Anangovomereza mwachidwi zomwe ife monga mtundu timayang'ana mosasamala, zomwe anthu awo amayamikira, koma athu amanyalanyaza."

Inde, luso la woyimba piyano wa ku America, wophunzira wa sukulu ya piano ya ku Russia, anali woyandikana kwambiri, wogwirizana ndi mitima ya omvera a Soviet ndi kuwona mtima kwake ndi kudzidzimutsa, kukula kwa mawu, mphamvu ndi kumveka bwino, phokoso lomveka. Cliburn anakhala wokondedwa wa Muscovites, ndiyeno omvera m'mizinda ina ya dziko. Kumveka kwa chigonjetso chake champikisano mkuphethira kwa diso kufalikira padziko lonse lapansi, kunafika kudziko lakwawo. M'maola ochepa chabe, anakhala wotchuka. Woyimba piyano atabwerera ku New York, adalandilidwa ngati ngwazi yadziko ...

Zaka zotsatira zinakhala kwa Van Cliburn mndandanda wa zisudzo mosalekeza padziko lonse lapansi, kupambana kosatha, koma nthawi yomweyo mayesero aakulu. Monga momwe wotsutsa wina ananenera kumbuyoko mu 1965, "Van Cliburn akukumana ndi ntchito yosatheka kuti apitirize kutchuka kwake." Kulimbana ndi inu nokha sikunakhale kopambana. Dera la maulendo ake a konsati linakula, ndipo Cliburn ankakhala movutikira nthawi zonse. Nthawi ina adapereka makonsati oposa 150 m'chaka!

Woyimba piyano wachinyamatayo adadalira mkhalidwe wa konsati ndipo adayenera kutsimikizira nthawi zonse kuti ali ndi ufulu kutchuka komwe adapeza. Zothekera zake zogwirira ntchito zinali zochepa mwachinyengo. Kwenikweni, anakhala kapolo wa ulemerero wake. Malingaliro awiri adalimbana ndi woimbayo: kuopa kutaya malo ake m'dziko la konsati ndi chikhumbo chofuna kusintha, zomwe zimagwirizanitsidwa ndi kufunikira kwa maphunziro aumwini.

Poona zizindikiro za kuchepa kwa luso lake, Cliburn amamaliza ntchito yake ya konsati. Amabwerera ndi amayi ake kumudzi kwawo ku Texas. Mzinda wa Fort Worth posakhalitsa umadziwika ndi mpikisano wa Van Cliburn Music.

Pokhapokha mu December 1987, Cliburn adachitanso konsati paulendo wa Purezidenti wa Soviet M. Gorbachev ku America. Kenako Cliburn anapanga ulendo wina mu USSR, kumene iye anachita ndi zoimbaimba angapo.

Panthawi imeneyo, Yampolskaya analemba za iye kuti: "Kuphatikiza pa kutenga nawo mbali pakukonzekera mpikisano ndi bungwe la masewera otchedwa Fort Worth ndi mizinda ina ya Texas, akuthandiza dipatimenti ya nyimbo ya Christian University, amadzipereka kwambiri. Nthawi ya chidwi chake chachikulu cha nyimbo - opera: amaphunzira bwino ndikulimbikitsa kuyimba kwa opera ku United States.

Clyburn amagwira ntchito mwakhama polemba nyimbo. Tsopano awa salinso masewero odzichepetsa, monga "chikumbutso Chachisoni": amatembenukira ku mitundu yayikulu, amapanga mawonekedwe akeake. Sonata ya piyano ndi nyimbo zina zatsirizidwa, zomwe Clyburn, komabe, sakufulumira kufalitsa.

Tsiku lililonse amawerenga zambiri: mwa zizoloŵezi zake za m'buku ndi Leo Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, ndakatulo za ndakatulo za Soviet ndi America, mabuku a mbiriyakale, filosofi.

Zotsatira za kudzipatula kwa nthawi yayitali kwa kulenga ndizosamvetsetseka.

Kunja, moyo wa Clyburn ulibe sewero. Palibe zopinga, palibe zopambana, koma palibenso mitundu yosiyanasiyana yofunikira kwa wojambulayo. Kuyenda tsiku ndi tsiku kwa moyo wake kumachepa. Pakati pa iye ndi anthu pamakhala ngati Rodzinsky, yemwe amayendetsa makalata, kulankhulana, kulankhulana. Anzanu ochepa amalowa mnyumbamo. Clyburn alibe banja, ana, ndipo palibe chomwe chingawalowe m'malo. Kuyandikira kwa iyemwini kumalepheretsa Clyburn malingaliro ake akale, kuyankha mosasamala ndipo, chifukwa chake, sikungawonekere muulamuliro wamakhalidwe.

Mwamunayo ali yekha. Kusungulumwa monga wosewera mpira wa chess Robert Fischer, yemwe atatchuka kwambiri adasiya ntchito yake yamasewera. Mwachiwonekere, pali china chake m'mlengalenga wa moyo wa ku America chomwe chimalimbikitsa olenga kuti azidzipatula ngati njira yodzitetezera.

Pa chaka cha XNUMX cha Mpikisano Woyamba wa Tchaikovsky, Van Cliburn anapereka moni kwa anthu a ku Soviet pa wailesi yakanema: “Nthaŵi zambiri ndimakumbukira Moscow. Ndimakumbukira za m'tauni. Ndimakukondani…"

Oimba ochepa m'mbiri ya zisudzo adakumana ndi kukwera kwa meteoric kutchuka monga Van Cliburn. Mabuku ndi zolemba, zolemba ndi ndakatulo zinali zitalembedwa kale za iye - ali ndi zaka 25, wojambula akulowa m'moyo - mabuku ndi nkhani, nkhani ndi ndakatulo zinali zitalembedwa kale, zithunzi zake zinali zojambula ndi ojambula zithunzi ndi osema. ovekedwa ndi maluwa ndi ogontha ndi kuwomba m'manja ndi zikwi za omvera - nthawi zina kutali kwambiri ndi nyimbo. Anakhala wokondedwa weniweni m'mayiko awiri nthawi imodzi - Soviet Union, yomwe inamutsegulira dziko lapansi, ndiyeno - pokhapo - kudziko lakwawo, ku United States, kumene adachoka ngati mmodzi wa oimba ambiri osadziwika komanso kumene anabwerera ngati ngwazi ya dziko.

Kusintha kozizwitsa konseku kwa Van Cliburn - komanso kusandulika kwake kukhala Van Cliburn molamulidwa ndi omusirira ake aku Russia - ndizatsopano mokwanira m'chikumbukiro ndipo zidalembedwa mwatsatanetsatane mwatsatanetsatane m'mabuku oimba kuti abwererenso kwa iwo. Choncho, sitidzayesa pano kuukitsa mu kukumbukira owerenga chisangalalo chosayerekezeka chomwe chinayambitsa maonekedwe a Cliburn pa siteji ya Nyumba Yaikulu ya Conservatory, chithumwa chosaneneka chomwe adasewera nawo masiku a mpikisanowo Concerto Yoyamba ya Tchaikovsky ndi Wachitatu Rachmaninov, chisangalalo chosangalatsa chomwe aliyense adalonjera nacho nkhani yopereka mphotho yapamwamba kwambiri ... Ntchito yathu ndi yocheperako - kukumbukira ndondomeko yayikulu ya mbiri ya wojambulayo, yomwe nthawi zina imatayika mu nthano ndi zosangalatsa zozungulira dzina lake, ndi kuyesa kudziwa malo omwe ali nawo mu utsogoleri wa piyano wa masiku athu ano, pamene pafupifupi zaka makumi atatu zapita kuchokera ku kupambana kwake koyamba - nthawi yofunika kwambiri.

Choyamba, ziyenera kutsindika kuti chiyambi cha mbiri ya Cliburn sichinali chosangalatsa ngati cha anzake ambiri a ku America. Ngakhale owala kwambiri a iwo anali atadziwika kale ali ndi zaka 25, Cliburn sanakhalebe pa "concert surface".

Analandira maphunziro ake a piyano oyambirira ali ndi zaka 4 kuchokera kwa amayi ake, kenako anakhala wophunzira ku Juilliard School m'kalasi la Rosina Levina (kuyambira 1951). Koma ngakhale izi zisanachitike, Wang adakhala wopambana pa mpikisano wa piano wa Texas State ndipo adawonekera poyera ali ndi zaka 13 ndi gulu la Houston Symphony Orchestra. Mu 1954, anali atamaliza kale maphunziro ake ndipo adalemekezedwa kusewera ndi New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Ndiye wojambula wamng'onoyo anapereka zoimbaimba kuzungulira dziko kwa zaka zinayi, ngakhale popanda kupambana, koma popanda "kutengeka", ndipo popanda izi n'zovuta kuwerengera kutchuka ku America. Kupambana pamipikisano yambiri yofunika komweko, komwe adapambana mosavuta m'ma 50s, sikunamubweretsenso. Ngakhale Mphotho ya Leventritt, yomwe adapambana mu 1954, sinali chitsimikizo cha kupita patsogolo panthawiyo - idapeza "kulemera" m'zaka khumi zotsatira. (Zowonadi, wotsutsa wodziwika bwino I. Kolodin anamutcha iye panthaŵiyo “watsopano waluso kwambiri pa siteji,” koma zimenezi sizinawonjezeko mapangano kwa wojambulayo.) M’mawu ena, Cliburn sanali n’komwe mtsogoleri wa dziko lalikulu la America. nthumwi pa mpikisano wa Tchaikovsky, choncho zomwe zinachitika ku Moscow sizinangodabwitsa, komanso zinadabwitsa anthu a ku America. Zimenezi zikusonyezedwa ndi mawu a m’kope laposachedwa kwambiri la dikishonale yanyimbo yovomerezeka ya Slonimsky: “Anakhala wotchuka mosayembekezereka popambana Mphotho ya Tchaikovsky ku Moscow mu 1958, kukhala Mamerika woyamba kuwina chipambano choterocho mu Russia, kumene anakhala woyamba kukondedwa; pobwerera ku New York analandilidwa monga ngwazi ndi chionetsero chachikulu.” Chiwonetsero cha kutchuka kumeneku posakhalitsa kukhazikitsidwa kwawo kwa wojambulayo mumzinda wa Fort Worth wa International Piano Competition wotchedwa pambuyo pake.

Zambiri zalembedwa chifukwa chake luso la Cliburn lidakhala logwirizana ndi mitima ya omvera aku Soviet. Molondola analozera mbali zabwino za luso lake - kuona mtima ndi modzidzimutsa, pamodzi ndi mphamvu ndi kukula kwa masewera, kufotokoza mozama kwa mawu ndi melodiousness wa phokoso - m'mawu, mbali zonse zomwe zimapanga luso lake logwirizana ndi miyambo ya anthu. sukulu ya ku Russia (mmodzi mwa oimira omwe anali R. Levin). Kuwerengedwa kwa ubwino umenewu kutha kupitilizidwa, koma zingakhale bwino kutchula wowerenga ku ntchito zatsatanetsatane za S. Khentova ndi buku la A. Chesins ndi V. Stiles, komanso zolemba zambiri zokhudza woyimba piyano. Apa ndikofunika kutsindika kuti Cliburn mosakayikira anali ndi makhalidwe onsewa ngakhale pamaso pa mpikisano wa Moscow. Ndipo ngati panthawiyo sanalandire ulemu woyenera kudziko lakwawo, ndiye kuti sizingatheke, monga momwe atolankhani ena amachitira "padzanja lotentha", izi zikhoza kufotokozedwa ndi "kusamvetsetsana" kapena "kusakonzekera" kwa omvera a ku America kwa omvera. malingaliro a talente yotere. Ayi, anthu omwe adamva - ndikuyamikiridwa - sewero la Rachmaninov, Levin, Horowitz ndi oimira ena a sukulu ya ku Russia, ndithudi, angayamikirenso luso la Cliburn. Koma, choyamba, monga tanenera kale, izi zimafuna chinthu cha kumverera, chomwe chinagwira ntchito ya mtundu wa chothandizira, ndipo kachiwiri, talente iyi idawululidwa kokha ku Moscow. Ndipo chochitika chomaliza ndicho kutsutsa kotsimikizika kwa zomwe zimanenedwa nthawi zambiri kuti nyimbo zowoneka bwino zimalepheretsa kupambana pakuchita mpikisano, kuti izi zimangopangidwira oimba piyano "avareji". M'malo mwake, zinali choncho pamene munthu payekha, wosakhoza kudziwonetsera yekha mpaka mapeto mu "mzere woyendetsa" wa moyo wa tsiku ndi tsiku wa konsati, unakula pansi pamikhalidwe yapadera ya mpikisano.

Choncho, Cliburn anakhala ankakonda omvera Soviet, anapambana kuzindikira dziko monga wopambana wa mpikisano mu Moscow. Panthawi imodzimodziyo, kutchuka kunapeza mofulumira kwambiri mavuto ena: motsutsana ndi maziko ake, aliyense ali ndi chidwi chapadera ndi kugwidwa adatsatira chitukuko chowonjezereka cha wojambulayo, yemwe, monga mmodzi wa otsutsa mophiphiritsira, anayenera "kuthamangitsa mthunzi wa mthunzi. ulemerero wake” nthaŵi zonse. Ndipo izi, chitukukochi, sichinakhale chophweka, ndipo sizingatheke nthawi zonse kuchiyika ndi mzere wokwera wolunjika. Panalinso nthawi ya kuyimirira kulenga, ndipo ngakhale kubwerera ku malo anapambana, ndipo osati nthawi zonse bwino pofuna kukulitsa luso lake (mu 1964, Cliburn anayesa kuchita ngati kondakitala); Panalinso kufufuza kwakukulu ndi zopambana zosakayikitsa zomwe zinalola Van Cliburn kuti apeze pakati pa oimba piyano otsogola padziko lonse lapansi.

Kusinthasintha konseku kwa ntchito yake yoimba kunatsatiridwa ndi chisangalalo chapadera, chifundo ndi kutengeka maganizo kwa okonda nyimbo za Soviet, nthawi zonse akuyembekezera misonkhano yatsopano ndi wojambula, zolemba zake zatsopano ndi kusaleza mtima ndi chimwemwe. Cliburn anabwerera ku USSR kangapo - mu 1960, 1962, 1965, 1972. Aliyense wa maulendowa anabweretsa omvera chisangalalo chenicheni cha kuyankhulana ndi talente yaikulu, yosasinthika yomwe inasunga zinthu zake zabwino kwambiri. Cliburn adapitilizabe kukopa omvera ndi mawu osangalatsa, kulowerera kwanyimbo, chisangalalo chamasewera, chomwe tsopano chikuphatikizidwa ndi kukhwima kochita zisankho komanso chidaliro chaukadaulo.

Makhalidwe amenewa angakhale okwanira kuonetsetsa kuti woimba piyano aliyense apambane. Koma oyang'anira ozindikira sanathawenso zosokonezazo - kutayika kosatsutsika kwa kutsitsimuka kwa Cliburnian, kufulumira kwamasewera, nthawi yomweyo osalipidwa (monga momwe zimachitikira nthawi zina) ndi kukula kwa malingaliro, kapena m'malo mwake, mwa kuya ndi chiyambi cha umunthu waumunthu, zomwe omvera ali ndi ufulu woyembekezera kuchokera kwa wojambula wokhwima. Chifukwa chake kumverera kuti wojambula akubwereza yekha, "akusewera Cliburn," monga katswiri wa nyimbo ndi wotsutsa D. Rabinovich adanena m'nkhani yake yowonjezereka komanso yophunzitsa "Van Cliburn - Van Cliburn".

Zizindikiro zomwezi zimamvekanso m'zojambula zambiri, zomwe nthawi zambiri zimakhala zabwino kwambiri, zopangidwa ndi Cliburn pazaka zambiri. Zina mwa zojambulira zoterezi ndi Beethoven's Third Concerto and Sonatas (“Pathetique”, “Moonlight”, “Appassionata” ndi ena), Liszt’s Second Concerto ndi Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Grieg’s Concerto ndi Debussy’s So Pieces, Second and Chopin’s So Pieces. Concerto ndi solo zidutswa za Brahms, sonatas ndi Barber ndi Prokofiev, ndipo potsiriza, chimbale chotchedwa Van Cliburn's Encores. Zingatanthauze kuti mndandanda wa repertoire wa wojambulayo ndi wotakata kwambiri, koma zikuoneka kuti ambiri mwa matanthauzo awa ndi "mabuku atsopano" a ntchito zake, zomwe adagwira ntchito pa maphunziro ake.

Chiwopsezo cha kuyimitsidwa kwa kulenga komwe Van Cliburn adakumana nacho kudadzetsa nkhawa pakati pa omwe amamukonda. Mwachiwonekere anamva ndi wojambulayo mwiniwakeyo, yemwe kumayambiriro kwa zaka za m'ma 70 adachepetsa kwambiri chiwerengero cha ma concerts ake ndikudzipereka kuti asinthe mozama. Ndipo potengera malipoti a nyuzipepala yaku America, zomwe adachita kuyambira 1975 zikuwonetsa kuti wojambulayo sadayimebe - luso lake lakhala lokulirapo, lolimba, lamalingaliro. Koma mu 1978, Cliburn, wosakhutira ndi sewero lina, anasiyanso ntchito yake ya konsati, kusiya mafani ake ambiri okhumudwa ndi osokonezeka.

Kodi Cliburn, wazaka 52, wavomereza kuvomerezedwa kwake asanakwane? - adafunsa mwachidwi mu 1986 wolemba nkhani wa International Herald Tribune. - Ngati tilingalira kutalika kwa njira yolenga ya oimba piyano monga Arthur Rubinstein ndi Vladimir Horowitz (amenenso anali ndi nthawi yayitali), ndiye kuti ali pakati pa ntchito yake. Nchiyani chinamupangitsa iye, woimba piyano wotchuka kwambiri wobadwira ku America, kusiya molawirira? Watopa ndi nyimbo? Kapena mwina akaunti yakubanki yolimba imamupusitsa? Kapena kodi mwadzidzidzi anasiya kufuna kutchuka ndi kutchuka kwa anthu? Kukhumudwa ndi moyo wotopetsa wa virtuoso woyendayenda? Kapena pali chifukwa china chaumwini? Mwachionekere, yankho lili m’kuphatikiza zinthu zonsezi ndi zina zimene sitikuzidziŵa.”

Woyimba piyano mwiniwake amakonda kukhala chete pamlingo uwu. Poyankhulana posachedwapa, adavomereza kuti nthawi zina amayang'ana nyimbo zatsopano zomwe ofalitsa amamutumizira, ndipo nthawi zonse amasewera nyimbo, kusunga nyimbo zake zakale zokonzeka.
