"A most illuminating and inspiring book. Should be in the hands of every musician, teacher or student." -The Etude
"Hofmann plays poetically, not metronomically; indeed, he repeatedly 'speaks disrespectfully' of the metronome, which 'kills the vital expression in playing.' Hofmann was a pupil of Rubinstein, to whose method of teaching he devotes some pages...A few of the subjects discussed are: Starting on a Concert Career, Afraid to Play Before People, Can Music Be Studied in America? How to Get Music Published, How to Use the Pedal, International Pitch, Individual Teacher or Conservatory? Organizing a Musical Club, Sex of the Piano Teacher, Watch Your Breathing, Why the Piano is So Popular." -The Nation
