From Mozart's fabulous legato that "flowed like oil" to Beethoven's
oceanlike surge, from Clara Schumann's touch "sharp as a pencil
sketch" to Rubinstein's volcanic and sensual playing, The Great
Pianists brings to life the brilliant, stylish, and sometimes
eccentric personalities, methods, and technical peculiarities of
history's greatest pianists.Pulitzer Prize-winning critic and
author Harold C. Schonberg presents vivid accounts of the artists'
performances, styles, and even their personal lives and quirky
characteristics-- such as Mozart's intense competition with
Clementi, Lizst's magnetic effect on women (when he played, ladies
flung their jewels on stage), and Gottschalk's persistent
nailbiting, which left the keys covered with blood. Including
profiles of Horowitz and Van Cliburn, among others, and chapters
detailing the playing and careers of such modern pianists as de
Larrocha, Ashkenazy, Gilels, Gould, Brendel, Bolet, Gutierrez, and
Watts, The Great Pianists is a comprehensive and fascinating look
at legendary performers past and present.
