The art of the piano

"Completely revised to include new artists and recordings, as well as, for the first time, a CD of rare recordings of the piano literature, this is the only all-inclusive and up-to-date book containing profiles of every major pianist and his or her essential repertoire. David Dubal also includes, in alphabetical order by composer, insightful commentary on the masterpieces of the literature, solo and concerto, and lists of recordings that represent the finest craftsmanship and widest diversity of interpretation of each work." "The Art of the Piano is an essential resource for piano teachers, concert-goers, and other devotees of keyboard virtuosity."--BOOK JACKET

First sentence: GEORGE BERNARD SHAW wrote, "The pianoforte is the most important of all musical instruments; its invention was to music what the invention of the printing press was to poetry."
