What is Great Pianists Speak for Themselves Volume 1 about?

Thirteen of the most important pianists today discuss in their own words their art and careers. Their names and performances are renowned throughout the contemporary music world: Arrau, Ashkenazy, Brendel, Browning, de Larrocha, Dichter, Firkun, Gould, Horowitz, Janis, Kraus, Tureck, and Watts. Their ideas and viewpoints touch all those interested in music, especially pianists, whether as aspiring musicians or music audiences. For the parent whose child has talent, stories of early years give various views on when and how to start a youngster at the keyboard; for the teacher, descriptions of individual mentors demonstrate the influences of pedagogy; for the serious piano student, these artists' own concert experiences give visions of what a career on the concert stage holds in store; and for any enthusiast of classical music, there is the always fascinating insight into the forces that produce great art as Ashkenazy describes the frustrations of a musician in a police state, Glenn Gould tells why he has forsaken live concerts for the recording studio, and Rosalyn Tureck recounts her triumphs as a child prodigy.
