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.
