Summary "Piano Mastery: Talks with Master Pianists and Teachers" by Harriette Brower is a collection of interviews and insights from renowned pianists and educators written in the early 20th century. This work provides a glimpse into the perspectives of notable figures in the world of piano, sharing their techniques, philosophies, and personal experiences in mastering the instrument. The book is highly informative for both aspiring pianists and teachers, offering a wealth of knowledge on interpretation, technical proficiency, and the emotional connection to music. At the start of the text, the author sets the stage for the compilation of interviews, emphasizing the value of sharing these insights with American piano teachers and students. Brower reflects on her musical pilgrimage in Europe, where she met and interviewed several esteemed pianists, including Ignace Jan Paderewski. Through these discussions, the opening portion explores Paderewski's unique approach to teaching, his focus on tonal quality and careful finger positioning, as well as his emphasis on emotional expression in music. The observations made during these selections lay a solid foundation for understanding the diverse methods and experiences of various pianists that follow throughout the book.
