Synopsis

Abby Whiteside (1881--1956) developed a revolutionary approach to piano technique, the idea of a “basic rhythm” involving the entire body that allows students to express the essential emotional rhythm of the music, as well as to play without the risk of the injuries that frequently afflict pianists. She influenced generations of pianists in America and Europe.
