This book was leant to me by my piano teacher. It’s written by a big time concert pianist and is interesting if not highly specialised. It goes into the intracicies and subtlties of classical piano music in such detail that it can only be truly appreciated by someone immersed fully in that world. But as someone interested in music of all types, the parts on the ways in which we appreciate music and interpret it were very good. Not for everyone this one.Â
