Welcome to farhanmalik.com, dedicated to the art of piano playing, with a focus on the great pianists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Here you’ll find a selection of my published writings, along with lecture topics that explore 19th-century pianists’ performance style and interpretive traditions.

This site also includes my research into the fraudulent Joyce Hatto recordings, along with detailed identifications and comparative evidence.

The Buyer’s Guide to Historic Piano Recordings Reissued on Compact Discs that I co-wrote with Donald Manildi can be found online at the International Piano Archives at the University of Maryland. The guide offers collectors and enthusiasts a comprehensive overview of available reissues featuring many of the great pianists of the past.
