The purpose of the article is to show the development of the piano school of T. Leschetizky, its influence on the musical culture of Saratov and the formation of education in the region using the example of the famous Saratov pianists I. Slivinsky, V. Adamovsky, A. Satanovsky and A. Katz. The main qualities of Leschetizky’s performing style, his contribution to the development of piano performance and the results of his pedagogical work are revealed.
