The Pianist and the Art of Music: A Treatise on Piano Playing for Teachers and Students (Classic Reprint)

The piano-virtuoso, whose efforts were of an individual type altogether, following a long line of eminent players and composers (S carlatti, Mozart, dementi, Dussek, Woelfl, Steibelt, Gramer, Hummel, Field, Herz, Thalberg, etc.) has, in the natural process of development, made room to the pianists, whose strength rests in the reproduction of the works of other masters, such asL iszt, Mendelssohn, Clara Schumann, Reinecke, Hiller, Halle, Rubinstein, Buelow, Essipoff, DA lbert, Paderewski and others. The increasing beauty and artistic variety of the masterworks of piano literature seem destined to gain a constantly increasing influence in this direction, so that an adequate reading of the gems of pianistic art will always be considered superior to the ephemeral, though perhaps novel display of individual taste and talent.
