Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In the early 20th century, piano pedagogy was undergoing a transformation, with new approaches to technique and interpretation emerging. This book, a distillation of the author's larger work on piano playing, offers a practical guide for both students and teachers seeking to understand the intricacies of touch and its impact on musical expression. The text delves into the mechanics of the piano, exploring the interaction between the instrument, the pianist's muscular system, and the production of sound. It emphasizes the importance of listening, feeling key resistance, and coordinating movements to achieve desired tonal effects. The author introduces the concept of "species of touch" ΓΆβ β distinct combinations of finger, hand, and arm movements that produce varying degrees of power and tonal color. This book's insights remain relevant for pianists of all levels, providing a foundation for developing a nuanced and responsive touch that unlocks the expressive potential of the piano.
