    5 out of 5 stars Great Pianists.......2007-03-27

    An indispensable book for tracing the great teaching lineages from the past to the present.

    5 out of 5 stars A very useful guide........2007-03-20

    If you want to know about the great pianists in history, this book will provide with a knowledgable and entertaining summary of the subject. Mr. Schonberg usually confronts several sources so one gets a very objective picture of many important and some not so important pianists.
    One can see that Mr. Schonberg is not a pianist when he critics some people's views on such topics as technique, and one does not have to agree with his opinions about some pianists, but nevertheless this is a great book worth having as a reference.

    4 out of 5 stars Great but...........2005-03-26

    where is Wilhelm Kempff? Don't you consider him a great pianist?

    Other than that, a great and informative book that gives you insight into the ways of the giants of the 88

    5 out of 5 stars Incredibly written, entertaining, and informative.......2005-01-28

    Mr. Schonberg knows how to put the reader at ease when writing about most any pianist. You feel comfortable with those great titans of pianism of years past, as if they were your own teachers. He paints vivid, honest pictures of each pianist, going into detail about how they played, their own peculiar strengths and weaknesses, about how they contributed to the overall history of piano-playing. Almost ALL the major and minor pianists of the past are described or at least mentioned. Also included are wonderful anecdotes giving insight into the personalities of the pianists involved. I had to laugh aloud when I read Chopin's disagreement over how rubato's should be played when arguing with fellow pianist Meyerbeer. The latter insisted that Chopin's playing of mazurkas sounds like 2/4 time, when Chopin was vehemently insisting that it was being played in 3/4 time (vehemence = screaming).

    The only problems with the book is that Schonberg tends to stick to terms that become a little too commonplace throughout the book. He constantly refers to the "first modern pianist," "romantic," "ahead of his time," etc. He uses those terms so frequently that I forget which pianists were classicists, which were romantics, and which modernists. Also, the book is a little dated, the last publication being 1986.

    However, if you're even MILDLY interested in the great pianists of the past please buy this interesting, thoroughly fact-packed book.

    5 out of 5 stars Exhaustive research , gratifying results !.......2004-12-22

    This an extraordinary and best documented compilation of five generations of pianists. From Hans von Bullow to Ivo Pogorelich . Since the book is from 1990 Schoenberg makes an exhaustive , passionate and reflexive analysis of the greatest virtuous of the keyboard . Schonberg differs from the ornaments of the technical language and goes to the heart of the music .
    Even if there are points of disagreement respect to several considerations , this work is recommended for its informative richness.
    The only little default - to my mind - might be well in the little data about some renowned European and even American pianists who had less prominence in America but equally deserve a special place in this singular book.
    Some examples are : Yves Nat , Samson Francois , Ivan Moravec , John Lill , Leonard Hokanson , Clifford Curzon , Myra Hess , Vlado Perlemuter , Paul Badura Skoda , Annie Fisher, Selma Kramer, Walter Gieseking, Joaquin Azzucaro , Andrei Gavrilov , Maria Yudina , Tatiana Nikolayeva , Bianca Musulin, Edith Farnadi , Horacio Gutiérrez, Ely Ney , Jean Marie Darre, Gabriel Tachino , Solomon , Dino Ciani , Jorg Demus, Friedrich Gulda, Michael Ponti , Mikjail Rudy and Vladimir Sofronitzky among the most representatives .

        Book Description

        Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart remains one of the most intriguing historical figures ever. By the time he died at the early age of 35, he had already left behind some of the most important music ever created.

        Just in time for the 250th anniversary of his birth, this picture book for the whole family tells the tale of Mozart's life, from child prodigy to Imperial Royal Chamber Composer for Emperor Joseph the II to his work as one of the world's first freelance composers. Mozart's life and his music are virtually inseparable, since so many of his experiences and observations came out in his music.

        Listen to the selection of Mozart's music on the enclosed CD as you read along, and you'll see how Mozart's life influenced his music—and his music influenced his life.

              Book Description

              Mozart was not only an extraordinary musical genius but a man who lived through the great change from the old society to the modern one in which we still live. He was one of the "new men" of the age--his music gives voice to anxieties and consolations that are still ours. This biography sets Mozart's life within the history of an age plunging into revolution and European war. Avoiding guesswork, it probes his crucial relationships with his father, his wife and his employer. It studies--in depth though in nontechnical language--characteristic examples of his music and asks what they can tell us about their author and ourselves.

              5 out of 5 stars A brief and concise introduction to Mozart's life.......2002-08-08

              Being a longtime fan of Mozart's work, naturally I wanted to learn more about the man himself. Too often I have found biographies to be dull, dry, and formulaic. This book provides a fresh and fascinating look into the life of the person many consider to be the world's greatest composer. The author writes with an engaging style, providing facts and some commentary. It truly is a great find, one that I particularly recommend to those whose only knowledge of Mozart comes from "Amadeus".

              3 out of 5 stars Tough read for a layman.......2002-01-23

              The book claims to avoid guess work about the life of Mozart and it stands up to it. But you need to have basic knowledge of two things to appreciate this book - classical music and European history of the eighteenth century. Language is hard to grasp, and it seems to have been written for an English major. If I satified all these requirements I would have loved this book.

              Book Description

              Mozart's collaborations with the librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte led to the composition of three of the great masterpieces of opera. This book, designed to guide the reader to a deeper understanding and appreciation of these enigmatic works, charts the musical, cultural, and social context in
              which they were written--the tastes and expectations of the contemporary opera audience, Mozart's intentions and aspirations in a period of rapid intellectual and political change, Da Ponte's views of opera, and the practical logistics of opera production at the time. Together, these strands
              provide illuminating insights into Mozart's creative process and the functions of eighteenth-century opera.

              5 out of 5 stars A clear and concise treatment of a complex topic.......2003-03-25

              Any complete study of the life and works of Mozart would take thousands of pages and hundreds of recordings just to crack the surface of this subject. Even merely the operas of Mozart cannot be adequately handled in a single volume (let alone the number of recordings involved). So on a much more modest scale, we have Andrew Steptoe's "The Mozart-Da Ponte Operas" from the Clarendon Paperbacks division of Oxford University Press (1988, reprinted 2001).

              For those wondering about that title, Lorenzo Da Ponte was the fascinating character who wrote the libretti to three of Mozart's greatest operas. In fact, the subtitle of this book is "The Cultural and Musical Background to 'Le Nozze di Figaro,' 'Don Giovanni,' and 'Cosi fan tutte,' but the book does not even get to those works until page 98. Roughly the first third of the book gives us an excellently organized and clear background to the works and the chapter titles will tell you exactly what I mean: "The Social Context: Vienna and Her Ruler," "Musicians, Audience, and Opera in Mozart's Time," "Mozart and Vienna," and "Mozart and His Personal Circle." The next chapter deals with Da Ponte and the opera buffa tradition, and we finally have what we need to understand more fully what Mozart's audiences saw in these works that are all but lost to us.

              The sixth chapter talks about "Cosi fan tutte" and how it reflected the moral climate of the day, while the next one discusses how Mozart treated the buffa plot from the musical standpoint. The remaining three chapters handle each of the Mozart-Da Ponte collaborations, and there are detailed synopses of the works in the appendix.

              Although I have read most of this material before, I have never seen it put in so well-organized a fashion; and my next move is to reread it, putting margin notes in along the way. I plan to make much use of this book in my opera seminars, and the general reader (who will need some rudimentary knowledge of music to understand at least parts of this book) will find in it many a key to a deeper understanding of these three masterworks.

                Although there are many accounts of Mozart's life, and countless descriptions and analyses of his music, this is the first attempt to protray Mozart's creative life as a composer. Kuster selects forty works or groups of works covering virtually every important stage in Mozart's career, from the first keyboard works of the young Wunderkind to Mozart's final days and the composition of the Requiem. In between, each chapter deals with the developments and events in the lives of the Mozarts as associated with or highlighted by a particular work or constellation of works. The bulk of the book - the last 25 out of 40 chapters - is concerned with Mozart's life and compositions from his arrival in Vienna in 1781 to his death there some ten years later. Drawing on the tremendous advances in Mozart research over the last thirty years, and the publication of the New Mozart Edition, Kuster's book makes a major contribution to our understanding of the creative development of the composer who represents for most musicians and music lovers the highest pinnacle of musical achievement.

                    Book Description

                    As the underlying source for so many important social, political, cultural, economic and personal events, it's no wonder that the study of civil rights is among the leading topics used to advance cross-curriculum understanding of American history and current events. In just four comprehensive and consistent volumes, your students gain access to a rich set of data chosen by independent experts. This set focuses on the civil rights of America's largest ethnic groups, but also covers selected immigrant groups, women and others.

                    American Civil Rights: Almanac offers essays, definitions, further readings and interpretation in two volumes. Information is arranged in six chapters by group: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, nonethnic groups (including women, lesbians and gay men), and selected immigrant groups. It also features approximately 120 photographs. Useful for report writing, the Almanac presents objective interpretation of the era.

                    American Civil Rights: Biographies introduces students to 23 people who symbolize American civil rights. Illustrated essays of up to 2,400 words cover well-known and lesser-known individuals. Each entry includes a biographical overview, sidebars on related people and topics and a list of further reading. Each volume includes a timeline/chronology, photographs, glossrary, further reading section and a cumulative index.

                    American Civil Rights: Primary Sources allows students and researchers to review approximately 19 full or excerpted speeches, memoirs, and other documents arranged in broad subject chapters for easy comparison. Each entry features an historical overview, a document excerpt, an in-text glossary, sidebars detailing related events and selections for further reading. Also 50 photographs are included.
