Piano Playing with Piano Questions Answered,
By A Customer
This review is from: Piano Playing: With Piano Questions Answered (Paperback)
I was slightly disappointed in this book. I did not feel that I learned very much that I didn't already know. There were a fewanswers to some problems that I have been experiencing on the piano, however, for the most part the answers to the questions were rather simple and common sense. I also felt that this book, written in the early 1900's, was outdated. I did get a good chuckle though from some of the advice. I felt that a beginner may have gleaned more usefull information from this book than I did.If you are looking for in depth answers, and advice on piano playing, etc. this didn't do it for me.

A Must for any Serious Piano Student and Teacher,
By BLee "bpslee" (HK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Piano Playing: With Piano Questions Answered (Paperback)
Probably the greatest pianist of our time tells us the secret of his success: how one should approach the piano and music, how Rubinstein taught him, what music to start with, the advantage and disadvantage of having an absolute pitch... a lot more. Most amusing as well as informative. It deserves more than 5 stars.

For somebody serious about piano - amazing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Piano Playing: With Piano Questions Answered (Paperback)
I can't begin to tell you how many people make a poor attempt at learning very difficult piano pieces just so they can say "I can play this, and I can play that". However, if they're serious about piano, they will come to a point where they realize that, sure, they can "get through" the piece, but they can't actually "play" it. There is so much more to the piano that so many people are missing out on these days. Technique, dynamics, tempo, and even simple things such as how you are seated at the bench. Most teachers skip over teaching these key aspects of music because most students just want to be able to play what they want as fast as they want. This book covers all the things that many have missed out on. It covers nearly everything you need to know on how to be a great piano player. Combine this book with natural talent, and a desire to bring the piano to life, and you're set. Theres even over 160 pages of frequently asked questions that amatures sent to Hoffman over the years (and answers of couse). If you're serious about playing the piano, get this book before your poor playing habbits are implanted in your head even further. If you're not serious, or just like to mess around... then skip it. It would be a waste of your money.
