In this definitive collection of his writings -- some of them never before published in English -- he brings the clarity and originality of expression that characterize his performances to the printed page. Whether discussing Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt, Schoenberg, or other pianists, his reflections will prove invaluable to serious piano players and listeners alike.

| PraiseLiterary Review
"Alfred Brendel is one of the greatest contemporary pianists. He is also a poet, and a brilliant essayist....I do not know of any other great musical executant who writes so well or so interestingly about music. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Alfred Brendel's essays, and warmly commend them to everyone who loves music." - Anthony Storr May 2001 |
