Join us at Village Well Books & Coffee for a discussion of Weight in the Fingertips with author Inna Faliks! Internationally renowned concert pianist Inna Faliks, professor and head of piano at UCLA, reads from her acclaimed memoir, Weight in the Fingertips: A Musical Odyssey from Soviet Ukraine to the World Stage. The reading will be followed by a Q&A with music journalist Thomas Small and a signing. The memoir has received glowing reviews from many publications including LA Review of Books, and Pianist Magazine states,  Weight in the Fingertips shows that Inna Faliks is not only a great pianist, but also a talented author who manages to portray a character accurately in just a few sentences, convey the mood of a piece of music or describe a funny or sad event. Above all, Weight in the Fingertips is a declaration of love for music.  About the participants: “Adventurous and passionate” (The New Yorker), Ukrainian-born pianist Inna Faliks has established herself as one of the most communicative, and poetic artists of her generation. She has made a name for herself through commanding performances of standard piano repertoire, as well genre-bending, interdisciplinary projects, and inquisitive work with contemporary composers. Her new memoir, Weight in the Fingertips, A Musical Odyssey from Soviet Ukraine to the World Stage, was published by Globe Pequot Press in October 2023. Find more information at innafaliks.com. Thomas Aujero Small is the co-author of Experience the Sublime, an upcoming book on the intersection of music and architecture, written in collaboration with acclaimed architectural author Michael Webb and set for publication by ORO Editions in 2026. A longtime contributor to the Paris-based journal Concertonet, Small has been writing about classical music since 2005. He was awarded a prestigious NEA Fellowship in music journalism at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. In addition to his work as a writer and cultural advocate, he recently completed a term as Mayor of Culver City, having served on the City Council from 2016 to 2020. About the book: Before she knew she was Ukrainian, Soviet, or Jewish, Inna Faliks knew she was a musician. Growing up in the city of Odessa, the piano became her best friend, and she explored the brilliant, intricate puzzles of Bach’s music and learned to compose under her mother’s watchful eye. At ten, Faliks and her parents moved to Chicago as part of the tide of Jewish refugees who fled the USSR for the West in the 1980s. During the months-long immigration process, she would silently practice on kitchen tables while imagining a full set of piano keys beneath her fingertips. In Weight in the Fingertips, Faliks gives a globe-trotting account of her upbringing as a child prodigy in a Soviet state, the perils of immigration, the struggle of assimilating as an American, years of training with teachers, and her slow and steady rise in the world of classical music. With a warm and playful style, she helps non-musicians understand the experience of becoming a world-renowned concert pianist. The places she grew up, the books she read, the poems she memorized as a child all connect to her sound at the piano, and the way she hears and shapes a musical phrase illuminate classical music and elite performance. She also explores how a person’s humanity makes their art honest and their voice unique, and how the life-long challenge of retaining that voice is fueled by a balance between being a great musician and being a human being. Throughout, Faliks provides powerful insights into the role of music in a world of conflict, change, and hope for a better tomorrow.
