"In 1983, I endeavored to interview a cross-section of pianists whose artistic concerns would express the full gamut of piano practice and performance. The three-year project resulted in this book, which celebrates the talent of internationally-known keyboard artists. In the conversational interviews that follow, the artists talk about the nature of their craft, practicing, and performing. The whole gamut of these issues is discussed: From expressing their views on learning music to reflecting on thoughts of the future of the piano, the artists clearly indicate their philosophical and musical insights in a refreshingly candid manner. Interviewed are Vladimir Ashkenazy, Jorge Bolet, John Browning, Bella Davidovich, Misha Dichter, Janina Fialkowska, Rudolf Firkusny, Leon Fleisher, Andre-Michel Schub, Abbey Simon, Ralph Votapek, and Andre Watts" (Linda J. Noyle). An absolute "must-have" title for music lovers/aficionados/collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of very few copies of the 1987 First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws ("Very Good") or are the Reissued Edition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus.
