Product Description

Review

It comes as no surprise that this volume, though slim, is packed with a rich variety of insights ... in the burgeoning field of performance studies, it should rapidly become a standard text. (Music and Letters )

Notes

"The ideas Schenker puts forth here are profound ... they will prove valuable to both music theorists and serious performers." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

The Art of Performance 21 Jun 2000

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

This is an extremly important book by the great and most influencial music theorist of the 20th Century, Henrich Schenker. In this book, he speaks about contemporary performance practice and focuses in particularly on the technique of piano playing and piano practicing. There are chapters dedicated to specific techniques such as legato-playing and pedalling, and detailed discussions on dynamics, fingering, and rests. I highly recommend this book to all the musicians out there, it is simply too important to be overlooked.
