Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pianoforte and Its Music If, now, I were asked to give a brief but com prehensive definition of the pianoforte, whose or igin, growth, and present status are to occupy our attention in the first large subdivision of this study, I should say that it is an instrument of music the tones of which are generated by strings set in vibration by blows delivered by hammers controlled by a keyboard, the mechanism of which is so adjusted that the force of the blow and the dynamic intensity of the resultant tone are meas urably at the command of the player. Also that it has a sound-board, or resonance-box, to augment the tone after its creation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pianist and the Art of Music: A Treatise on Piano Playing for Teachers and Students The piano virtuosos, was one of the first to devote all the energy of his genial nature to the reproduction of the better works from the days of Scarlatti, Bach and Haendel to his time; all the notable great pianists have since taken special pride in introducing to the art-loving world the works of the great com posers. Some have made a specialty of one particu lar composer, notably Beethoven and Mozart; others have devoted their efforts successfully to several composers, and the possibility has been demon strated more than once that works of widely differ ent characteristic traits are accessible to the same artist, so that they receive fully adequate readings. Few programs are found nowadays where the names of our great composers and a host of others do not find place.

Download or read book Piano Notes written by Charles Rosen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-10-29 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Rosen is one of the world's most talented pianists -- and one of music's most astute commentators. Known as a performer of Bach, Beethoven, Stravinsky, and Elliott Carter, he has also written highly acclaimed criticism for sophisticated students and professionals. In Piano Notes, he writes for a broader audience about an old friend -- the piano itself. Drawing upon a lifetime of wisdom and the accumulated lore of many great performers of the past, Rosen shows why the instrument demands such a stark combination of mental and physical prowess. Readers will gather many little-known insights -- from how pianists vary their posture, to how splicings and microphone placements can ruin recordings, to how the history of composition was dominated by the piano for two centuries. Stories of many great musicians abound. Rosen reveals Nadia Boulanger's favorite way to avoid commenting on the performances of her friends ("You know what I think," spoken with utmost earnestness), why Glenn Gould's recordings suffer from "double-strike" touches, and how even Vladimir Horowitz became enamored of splicing multiple performances into a single recording. Rosen's explanation of the piano's physical pleasures, demands, and discontents will delight and instruct anyone who has ever sat at a keyboard, as well as everyone who loves to listen to the instrument. In the end, he strikes a contemplative note. Western music was built around the piano from the classical era until recently, and for a good part of that time the instrument was an essential acquisition for every middle-class household. Music making was part of the fabric of social life. Yet those days have ended. Fewer people learn the instrument today. The rise of recorded music has homogenized performance styles and greatly reduced the frequency of public concerts. Music will undoubtedly survive, but will the supremely physical experience of playing the piano ever be the same?
Book Synopsis The Art of the Player-Piano by : Sydney Grew
Download or read book The Art of the Player-Piano written by Sydney Grew and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of the Player-Piano: A Text-Book for Student and Teacher I have assumed that the student has no ability to read music. The course of instruction, however, gradually supplies facts and principles of musical notation which will in the end enable the student to find his way about printed music, and to observe the many details of the pieces which I have not been able to mention. The intellectual effort required in Chapters XXV - XXIX is slightly less than that required in the study of instrumentation, canon, building construction, algebra, and so on but it requires the same qualities and similar determination. I am happy to acknowledge unusual indebtedness to G. W. F. Reed, Esq., and to express warm gratitude. And I thank my wife for her patient consideration during the putting together of the book, and for her selection of the pieces used in an important chapter.

Book Synopsis How to Play the Piano (Classic Reprint) by : Mark Hambourg
Download or read book How to Play the Piano (Classic Reprint) written by Mark Hambourg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How would you feel receiving piano lessons from a world-renowned and seasoned concert pianist? Indeed, such sessions would be delightfully challenging and insightful ones, as you're inclined to receive all his instructions without question and with full confidence in his expertise and abilities. This is also the attitude that one should adopt when going through Mark Hambourg's This How to Play the Piano. The author himself recommends any piano student to have a "really good and experienced professor" - someone which the famous pianist himself was although he did not insinuate his credentials in this way. He dispenses practical advice regarding the maintenance of one's health as a performer and the decorum one must adopt in performing in public. Hambourg also includes a number of helpful illustrations that the reader can follow easily. He tackles the basics in playing the piano and moves things gradually to the more challenging aspects of performing with such an instrument, such as using the pedal and "making the piano sing." In addition to these, the Russian-British musician also gives tips on selecting and caring for your own piano. Though this volume may be written many decades ago, the principles and tips laid out by its author are still relevant and applicable to the modern piano student, whether young or old, naturally adept or just plain curious. Readers will also get more insights on what it takes to be a committed performer through Hambourg's non-musical advice and be inspired by his words.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Pianists on Piano Playing: Study Talks With Foremost Virtuosos There could have been but little improvement in our railroads in 1872 when Rubinstein came to America, for although he accepted for 215 concerts dur ing his first trip, he refused an offer of $12 for only 50 concerts when a manager tried to persuade him to return. American railroads now present the acme of com fort, convenience, and even luxury in travel, yet the European artist has difficulty in adjusting himself to journeys of thousands of miles crowded in a short winter season when he has been accustomed to little trips of a few hundred kilometers. He comes to dread the trains as we might a prison van. Paderewski re sorts to a private car, but even this luxurious mode of travel may be very monotonous and exhausting.

A brief comment upon this alternative may lead to observations which may throw a light upon the matter of reading between the lines, especially as I am rather strongly inclining toward the belief in the unconscious side of the alternative.
