Book Description
Excerpt from Primer of Pianoforte Playing Simplest, and will require but brief consideration. It is obvious that the notes in staccato accompaniment must be light and delicate, and not strong enough to interfere with the melody which they accompany. When they are required to be soft, and yet bright in tone and distinctly articulated, which is often the case, they must be played with a steady hand, the fingers being held in a bent position and with little or no movement of the joints, and the hand lifted from the key with great rapidity, but to a very short distance. This movement, which is very slight though quick, comes from the action of the elbow-joint, and the tone produced is crisp and short, with very little percussion. This touch is suitable for such passages as the bass in the Scherzo of Beethoven's Sonata in E flat, op. 31, No. 3, or the chords of the right hand in the 108th and following bars of the first movement of the same.

Excerpt from The Art of the Pianist: Technic and Poetry in Piano Playing, for Teacher and Student I realized, later on, that I should have begun my piano study with a foundation of principles, and carried it on along educational lines; that I should have used my hands Without fear, in vigorous practice, and in other manual occupa tions. I would then have accomplished all I have done in a quarter of the time it has taken me to do it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Principles of Expression: In Pianoforte Playing In writing this work, I had not. only the object in view of providing for those interested in the subject a book of reference, containing a systematic exposition of the principles of expression in pianoforte playing, but I also wished to dispel the erroneous popular belief, that expression is a manifestation of feeling only, or that feeling is the sole basis of expression. I shall endeavor to prove that intelligence, not feeling, is the chief requirement in expression. Fully twenty years ago, when first the idea dawned upon mo, that expression was based upon principles, and not merely upon emotional impulse or individual taste, I asked myself and others: What are those principles? How can I obtain a knowledge, where find a clear exposition of them? My own teachers had never mentioned the subject, and I venture to say that the conditions of musical teaching, so far as expression goes, arc pretty much the same to-day, as they were twenty years ago. Every artist and musician to whom I applied had only private opinions to give on the subject. I searched in German, French, and English literature for more substantial information, but was astonished at the almost total absence of any practical doctrine regarding the laws of expression. For years I collected every scrap of obtainable information, and, in recording my own deductions, was careful throughout to be guided only by natural laws, avoiding absolutely (as every teacher should do) personal inclination. Sifting and classifying this material, I discovered logical connections between many apparent contradictions, and, gradually, succeeded in systematizing, for my own uso in teaching, the leading principles of pianistic expression.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Art of Teaching Pianoforte Playing: A Systematized Selection of Practical Suggestions for Young Teachers and Students Technique is necessary. Whether the ambition of the teacher or the student be small or great, if there is to be any success there must be technical training. And the labour of attaining excellence, even in very modest provinces of pianoforte-playing, is greatly lightened by the regular use of some well-ordered and effective system of technical training. There are parents who, during a preliminary interview, tell the teacher that they wish the pupil to be taught to play a few pieces, but would rather that he was not troubled with exercises; and there are pupils plenty of them, who dabble along at these pieces and avoid exercises.

Excerpt from Technique and Expression in Pianoforte Playing These suggestions relate to both the mechanical and intellectual sides of the study of pianoforte-playing, or, briefly, to Technique and Expression, the chief matters implied by the first of these terms being the production of various qualities of tone, the choice of suitable fingering, and the best methods of attacking certain difficulties; while the second, which may perhaps be more aptly designated the means of expression, includes rhythm, phrasing.

Book Description
Excerpt from The First Principles of Pianoforte Playing: Being an Extract From the Author's "the Act of Touch," Designed for School Use, and Including Two New Chapters Directions for Learners and Advice to Teachers This little work is issued to render the teachings of The Act of Touch better available for the School-room and Class room, and as a d104-book for Examinations. It is intended as an Introduction to the subject. The supreme importance of early training in this subject the mechanism of playing - need not be further dilated upon here, since it has been proved that Agility itself, and all those contrasts of Tone and Duration which enable us musically to express ourselves through the Pianoforte, depend immediately on the proper fulfilment of the laws of Touch, the polemics of which have been amply dealt with in The Act of Touch.

Book Description
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.
