"The indispensables in pianistic success - are they not very much the same in all successes?" Josef Hofmann Yes, indeed! - and the reverse sentiment holds as well.

Here are their intimate thoughts on purpose, motivation, discipline, perseverance, even health and social skills - not to mention technique. Caution: a number of sacred cows from today's self-help scene will be ground into hamburger meat by a bunch of long-haired musicians. Better fasten your seat belt as the 'awakening' may occasionally be a bit rude. "When necessary - speak; and in a way that people will remember ... Whoever is most impertinent has the best chance." Mozart The era saw great advances in psychology and education, so relevant thinking by Freud, Jung, Reich, Montessori, Suzuki and Dalcroze is duly examined and integrated by the author. Also included is a lucid explanation of the Alexander Technique and its critical importance to optimal mind/body performance. This book is brimming with powerful information to fuel your dreams. Whether you're in the performing arts, business, management, education, or just looking to raise the bar in your personal life - this book is for you. It will rev up your engine and cause you to shift not only gears but thought paradigms.It's 19th century wisdom for a transcendent 21st.

Download or read book Ignaz Friedman written by Allan Evans and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allan Evans's groundbreaking biography of Ignaz Friedman gives the reader the behind and the between of the life and career of this extraordinary pianist. Friedman's repertory emphasized the major works of Beethoven, Schumann, Liszt, and Brahms, but he was perhaps best known for his interpretation of the Chopin mazurkas, which by all accounts he played with the same rhythmic nuance as their composer. Evans examines Friedman's life as a cultured Jewish musician from Poland; his studies in Leipzig and Vienna; his marriage to Manya Schidlowsky -- a Russian countess and relative of Tolstoy; and his performing career, teaching, and retirement in Australia.

Download or read book Afterthoughts of a Pianist/Teacher written by Donald Isler and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2022-01-13 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a book I would readily recommend to any performer, teacher, student, or lover of the piano," says pianist and composer John Musto. Pianist and professor Lisa Yui writes, "Donald Isler's collection of articles and interviews are delightful! They are written in the charming and breezy style of Huneker, Loesser, and Hough (three of the most esteemed writers on the piano and pianists), but underneath lies a depth of knowledge and experience. The interviews are informative and observant, the articles witty and self-reflective. Each is fascinating, informative, enlightening-in short, a wonderful read!" According to Jerome Lowenthal, professor at the Juilliard School and one of the most renowned pianists of his generation, "If there was a golden age of pianophilia, it is nobly continued today by pianist-journalists like Donald Isler." Author Donald Isler reflects on more than fifty years' experience teaching, attending concerts, and living a professional life dedicated to music. Though the responsibilities of being a true artist or a good teacher are taken seriously, there are also many lighthearted and amusing stories. The thirty-five essays that comprise Part I of the book include provocative titles, such as "Up from Mediocrity," "In Praise of Rule Breakers," "Do I Keep an Open Mind," plus articles about great musicians Isler heard, knew personally, or studied with. The thirty-one interviews that make up Part II followed in-depth conversations with each subject. They reveal much about the lives and careers of great artists of the older generation, such as Gary Graffman and Ruth Slenczynska, several child prodigies and many distinguished musicians in-between, as well as two acclaimed radio personalities, one impresario who has devoted her life to developing the careers of many important musicians-and Dr. Ruth Westheimer, the sex therapist, who speaks about the music in her life!

Download or read book Moriz Rosenthal in Word and Music written by Mark Mitchell and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2005-11-03 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a pianist, Rosenthal was unparalleled: his legato touch came from Chopin through his pupil Mikuli; his awareness of composition was developed by Liszt; his Brahms interpretation shaped by the composer himself; and his ingeniously crafted piano-paraphrases memorialized his friendship with Johann Strauss II. Yet Rosenthal's pianistic abilities were married to a rare intellectual erudition -- a knowledge of literature, history, philology, science, philosophy, and society that few pianists have ever matched, let alone surpassed. In these striking pieces, we see every facet of Rosenthal: memoirist, social critic, pedagogue, and virtuoso. He could write with gravity and pathos, yet his famous and sometimes devastating wit is legendary. This volume combines Rosenthal's writings with critical assessments of the pianist by such contemporaries as Eduard Hanslick, Edward Prime-Stevenson, and Hugo Wolf. It is rounded out with an illuminating preface by Charles Rosen, perhaps Rosenthal's most renowned pupil; a discography and concertography; and a CD featuring never-before-released Rosenthal recordings.

The Rest Is Noise is an astonishing history of the twentieth century as told through its music.
