About this title

Synopsis

Music / Classical / PianoReflections from the Keyboard, 2nd Edition, is a thoroughly revised, updated edition of David Dubal's classic collection of interviews with famous pianists first published by Simon & Schuster in 1984. This collection includes all of today's leading lights, such as Claudio Arrau, Emmanuel Ax, Alfred Brendel, Misha Dichter, Ruth Laredo, Murray Perahia, Peter Serkin, and Andre Watts, along with many luminaries no longer with us including Glenn Gould and Vladimir Horowitz. In all of his interviews, Dubal discusses with each pianist matters of technique, performance, and interpretation, showing a deep understanding of the pianist's profession. This long-out-of print classic work is considered by many to be one of the best ever done on the piano, and an eager new generation of pianists and followers of Dubal's work will undoubtedly greet it warmly. David Dubal is an award-winning journalist and teacher of the piano and its history. On the faculty of the Juilliard School, he for many years was classical music director at New York's WNCN. A well-known and colorful personality on the classical music scene, Dubal is also the author of Art of the Piano (S&S), Remembering Horowitz (Schirmer Books), and many other works.First edition commentary and "A keyboardist's CANTERBURY TALES" THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW"The true star of REFLECTIONS FROM THE KEYBOARD is Dubal"---Leonard Bernstein "An impressive accomplishment, full of insight!"--Aaron Copland "Will fascinate anyone who has ever tried to play the piano"--THE BOSTON GLOBE
