It is in my opinion a must for any music shelf. * Menahem Pressler, Distinguished Professor of Music, Indiana University, pianist of Beaux-Arts Trio, and soloist *\u003cbr\u003eDeborah has written an amazingly thorough compendium of the pianist's interpretive dilemmas. With precision, insight, and a strong dash of unique humor, she has addressed complex issues in a highly understandable way - providing an excellent resource for performers, teachers, and students! * Timothy Shafer, Professor of Piano, Penn State University *\u003cbr\u003eA useful and intelligently written book and seems to represent years of accumulated teaching wisdom. Sinn is tireless in the pursuit of solving passages unto the last sixteenth note, and often refreshingly precise in her explanations...Will allow teachers and students to think analytically about common interpretive situations at the piano. * College Music Symposium *\u003cbr\u003eA perfect resource book (aka tool) for the studio teacher or for teen and adult students. It is written clearly, without either pretension or condescension and with detail but not great length...You can find a specific piece of advice or answer to a question, or, you can immerse yourself and read the entire book from cover to cover. Since it is intended as a textbook, it is perfect for studio group lessons as well...This book is a keeper! * PianoAddict.com *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Companion Website ; Musical Examples and Illustrations ; Acknowledgements ; Introduction ; 1.
