This terrific volume is not unlike having a conversation with a wise and experienced master! This is a comprehensive introduction to the Piano and features analysis and discussion as well as a reference manual - every page has something useful or interesting! Inside Louis Kentner, a renowned and respected Pianist himself, gives all manner of advice, tips and expert inside information as he shows the aspects of techniques and the piano in an orchestral and ensemble context as well as a solo instrument. Kentner also examines its place in history, including some of the great composers who have enjoyed enduring success. This is a fabulous guide for Pianists of all levels or even for non-players who seek an interesting, informative and inspiring book.
The Yehudi Mehuhin Music Guides are hugely important and twice as useful! Each one concentrates on a particular instrument from the orchestral family; giving information, background, history, and technique all by recognised and skilled musicians - experts in their field who are well placed to pass on their experience.
