Book Reviews of The Great Pianists: From Mozart to the Present
Book Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most amusing, entertaining, yet historically accurate books I have read. From Mozart's opinions of other pianists to Debussy's ideas of pedalling to Percy Grainger's thoughts on flappers and the feminist movement, this book is as alive as the great story it tells-the story of the piano and the influence it is had on every society that has known it. Written by a former New York Times music editor, this book is an essential addition to the bookshelf of any music maker or lover.
