Marguerite Long, the most important French female pianist of the
20th century, left her stamp on a whole epoch of musical life in
Paris. The Pedagogical Writings of Marguerite Long presents English
translations of the two contributions of Marguerite Long to the
literature of piano pedagogy. These translations of her pedagogical
works, Le Piano and La Petite Méthode de Piano, provide a window
to the old French school of pianism as modernized by Long. Le Piano
is a remarkable text offering piano playing techniques and
pragmatic and philosophical musings and observations about life,
musicians, careers, and more. La Petite Méthode de Piano is a
personal manifesto about how to introduce kids to music. Both works
are treasures revealing Long's deep commitment to teaching and they
are still stunningly relevant. In addition, John Ellis analyzes
each work and puts it in historical context. He places special
emphasis on Long's illustrious international career, her teaching,
her rivalry with Alfred Cortot, and the impact of sexism on her.
Ellis addresses the eclipse of Long's reputation by that of Cortot
and fills a gap in the knowledge of Long's place in the history of
pedagogical heritage.
