Book Reviews of The Art of the Piano: Its Performers, Literature, and Recordings Revised & Expanded Edition
Book Review: A Great Disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a big book, ambitious in intent, but the task was not carried out with sufficient thoroughness. Indeed, the author is quite amateurish in the manner in which he dismisses a number of very distinguished pianists in a few unenlightening lines and devotes several pages to others. Less than half the book is given over to pianists anyway: the larger second part lists the major compositions of composers for the piano followed by a list of the author's recommended versions. I didn't find this very enlightening or helpful.
Finally, Dubal should have spared us his portaits of a number of pianists: they really are hideous and amateurish in the extreme.
