Description
"This book distils what, at my advanced age, I feel able to say about music, musicians, and matters of my pianistic profession."
Ever since Alfred Brendel bid farewell to the concert stage after six decades of performing, he has been passing on his insight and experience in the form of lectures, readings, and master-classes. This reader for lovers of the piano distils his musical and linguistic eloquence and vast knowledge, and will prove invaluable to anyone with an interest in the technique, history, and repertoire of the piano.
Erudite, witty, enlightening, and deeply personal, A Pianist's A–Z is the ideal book for all piano lovers, musicians, and music aficionados: rarely has the instrument been described in such an entertaining and intelligent fashion.
