Description

Louis Kentner covers all aspects of the piano in this comprehensive and fascinating dissertation. As well as practical material there are pages of instruction on technique including a chapter on the use of the pedal, some hints on singing tone and legato, advice on practising, and a do-it-yourself guide to basic tuning. Kentner provides a penetrating analysis of much of Chopin's and Liszt's piano music and contributes a unique and detailed study of Beethoven's thirty-two piano sonatas. The book includes some selected further reading and a discography.

Media Reviews

'This is a rare privilege, and one which will be rewarding not only to any music-lover, amateur or professional, but also - such is the quality of this book in terms of human and civil value - to even the casual reader who is curious to understand the mysteries of music and the artist's mind, the sensitive heart and the disciplined hands that make music possible.' - Yehudi Menuhin; 'Every idea expressed is lucid and profound...this book should be in the library of every pianist, amateur or professional, and every music lover should possess it for reference and refreshment.' - Fanny Waterman, Music Journal; 'Rather like having a conversation with a wise and experienced master.' - Edward Greenfield, The Guardian; 'The best book on the piano to ever come my way ... there is something to be learned from every page, and one feels oneself in the company not only of a great pianist and teacher, but of a great human being.' - Ernest Bradbury, Music and Musicians
