So many of the great pianists and teachers have come out of Poland and Russia (Rubinstein, Anton as well as Arthur, Leschetizky, Paderewski, the Lhevinnes, Gilels, Richter, and others), yet we know little about their methods of learning and teaching. George Kochevitsky in The Art of Piano Playing supplies some important sources of information previously unavailable in the United States. From these sources, tempered by this own thinking, Kochevitsky formulated a scientific approach that can solve most problems of piano playing and teaching. George Kochevitsky graduated in 1930 from Leningrad Conservatory and did post-graduate work at Moscow Conservatory. After coming to the U.S., he taught privately in New York City, gave a number of lectures, and wrote for various music periodicals.

Honing the pianistic self-image takes up where The Craft of Piano Playing left off in the development of Alan Fraser's comprehensive piano technique. Where Craft focused on the foundational security of the hand's innate structure and function, Honing shows you how to take that structure up into a new, sophisticated state--unstable equilibrium--to gain an even finer control over the colours and emotion you produce at the piano. --from publisher description.
