Schnabels Interpretation of Piano Music

Artur Schnabels reputation as a pianist and teacher has grown steadily, and his innovative approach to the pianists art has attracted increasing interest. This book--originally prepared while its author was studying with Schnabel, and supervised by the master himself--is unique for two reasons: it is the only detailed treatment of Schnabels "system" as such, and it is the first general survey describing the range of a pianists interpretive concerns to appear in this century. Formerly titled <em>The Teaching of Artur Schnabel</em>, this second edition includes a new preface by Alfred Brendel.
