Pianists at Play Reviews

'This inspiring book is a collection of interviews, master lessons and technical regimes culled from issues of Clavier Magazine over the years. It features such luminaries as Artur Rubinstein, Claudio Arrau, Casadesus, Serkin, Lili Kraus, Bachauer, and many other great pianists and teachers. There is a wonderful illustrated interview with Adele Marcus, entitled Mechanics of an Advanced Technique together with her technical regime. This book can be used for reference, or for browsing, and is guaranteed to get you rushing back to the piano with renewed vigour and enthusiasm. If you haven't got this book, GET IT!' - Graham Fitch, practisingthepiano.com
