No pianist can experience the full flowering of her art without
eventually grappling with those great musical minds who composed
specifically for piano. In The Pianist's Craft, Richard Anderson
collects from his fellow pianist-scholars 19 articles on the
teaching, preparation, and performance of works by the greatest
composers in the standard piano repertoire. This collection ranges
in subject matter from Inge Rosar's meditation on playing Bach on
the modern keyboard to Gary Amato's assessment of Haydn's sonatas,
from Christie Skousen's review of tone production in Chopin to
GwenolynMok's foray into recreating Ravel's works on an Erard
piano, the same used by Ravel himself. Readers will find essays as
well on Mozart's piano compositions, Beethoven's sonatas, the
influence of Schubert's lieder on his piano works, and works by
Schumann, Liszt, Brahms, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin,
Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Bartok, Gershwin, and Crumb. The
contributors all recognized nationally and internationally for
their contributions 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 the individual composer they have chosen
to explore, 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. In The Pianist's Craft these great
artists and teachers answer questions for readers that are
otherwise only addressed in conferences, master classes, and
private lessons. In this collection of essays, key points of
information and instruction are offered with over 200 musical
examples included as illustration. The Pianist's Craft 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 generally.

On a snowy Christmas Eve, a young man named Thomas on his way home
for a family celebration realizes that the candle in his lantern is
about to expire. He stops in a chandler's shop filled with
fantastic wax creations, but instead of admiring them Thomas scorns
the chandler for wasting his time on sculptures that will only
melt. The mysterious old chandler sells him a special Christmas
candle. Back on the bitterly cold street, the young man is accosted
by an old beggar woman. When he lifts his lantern to get a better
look, the candlelight reveals that she is his mother. He gives her
his cloak and only then sees the truth: She is not his mother after
all, but a stranger. The candle tricks him again before he reaches
home, cold and penniless, but richer for his newfound realization
that we are all part of one family.
This intriguing original fable about charity is accompanied by
lavish, mood-filled oil paintings by artist Jacob Collins.
Together, author and artist have created an exquisite holiday gift
book that will be treasured by the entire family.
Johnny Flannigan developed a sixth sense about trouble at an
early age: it always happens when you're not dressed.
Johnny grew up in a ragtag family full of what other folk called
"characters." His dad and mother, who lived on small change and
laughs, had Johnny late in life. But when Johnny was seventeen,
things began to look up. He and his new friend, Jesse Davidson,
teamed up with Eddie Freeman, a fast-talking kid who would later
became manager for the singing duo, Jesse and Johnny. Together, the
three boys began to make a little money, learning the entertainment
business by trial and error.
Eddie will do whatever it takes to make his friends (and
clients) into superstars. Johnny loses his heart to a faithful
hometown girl named Joyce, and all is bliss-that is, until Ruby
Van-Heusen, an older woman with more than enough money (but not
enough scruples), steps in with her own agenda.
When Levi, Johnny's unpredictable older brother, follows him to
Hollywood with big dreams of his own, Johnny's world spins out of
control even more. In an effort to regain a bit of balance, Johnny
and his partners form a record company which in turn brings on some
unwelcome surprises, including the Mob.
From Indiana to New York and then Hollywood, Johnny's life is
never short on adventure, laughs, heartbreak-or the struggle it
takes to never give up.
Writing is essential to learning. One cannot be educated and yet
unable to communicate one's ideas in written form. But, learning to
write can occur only through a process of cultivation requiring
intellectual discipline. As with any set of complex skills, there
are fundamentals of writing that must be internalized and then
applied using one's thinking. This guide focuses on the most
important of those fundamentals.
