| Summary | "Piano Playing, with Piano Questions Answered" by Josef Hofmann is a comprehensive guide on the practice and art of piano playing written in the early 20th century. This instructional work is aimed at young students and offers insights gleaned from Hofmann's years of study and public performance experience. The book delves into the technical and artistic elements necessary for mastering the piano while also addressing common questions faced by aspiring musicians. The beginning of the book introduces the reader to Hofmann's intention to provide a broad overview of artistic piano-playing, emphasizing both the technical components and the more subtle aspects that contribute to effective performance. He explains that while technical skill is crucial, it is equally essential for musicians to engage with the emotional and interpretative depths of the music. Furthermore, Hofmann seeks to clarify that understanding and expressing a composition involve more than mere accuracy; they necessitate a profound appreciation of the music’s essence, which he illustrates through anecdotes and personal philosophies on teaching and learning the piano.
