In The Pianist's Craft 2, pianist and scholar Richard P. Anderson
gathers together a new collection of essays by renowned performing
artists and teachers and discusses the preparation, pedagogy, and
performance of selected works by an entirely different set of
composers whose works are standard in the piano literature. In this
volume, readers will find an invaluable collection of contributions
on C.P.E. Bach, Antonio Soler, Felix Mendelssohn, Gabriel Faure,
Erno Dohnanyi, Francis Poulenc, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Dmitri
Kabalevsky, Alberto Ginastera, Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber,
Olivier Messiaen, and John Cage. The contributors-all nationally
and internationally recognized as performing artists, teachers,
recording artists, and clinicians-write thoughtfully about the
composers whose work they have studied and played for years. Each
author addresses issues unique to an individual composer, examining
questions of phrasing, tempo, articulation, dynamics, rhythm,
color, gesture, lyricism, instrumentation, and genre. Valuable
insight is provided into teaching, performing, and preparing these
great works-information otherwise available only in conferences,
master classes, and private lessons. This collection, with more
than 250 musical illustrations, is intended for teachers and
students of the intermediate and advanced levels of piano,
instructors and performers at the university level, and those who
love piano and piano music.
