FRENCH PIANISM Historical Perspective by Charles Timbrell HB DW Classical Music

Description: French Pianism: An Historical Perspective by Charles Timbrell French Pianism: An Historical Perspective by Charles Timbrell. The undisputed pre-eminence of Paris as a centre of the piano world dates from the early 19th century, and the professors of the Paris Conservatoire transmitted the characteristic French style to each new generation for some 150 years. First published in 1992, this study surveys the historical development, performances practices, and pedagogical philosophies of this school of piano playing. The author studied with several proponents of the jeu perle, a French style of playing categorized by rapid, clean even passage-work, note after note. Over a 15-year period Charles Timbrell conducted more than 70 interviews with notable French pianists, many of them new to this edition and all of them frank and lively conversationalists, ranging from a 96-year old Paul Loyonnet - a link to the traditions of the 19th century - to emerging young talents at the turn of the millennium. Also included in this edition are the author's detailed recollections of his own lessons with such luminaries as Gaby Casadesus, Jeanne-Marie Darre, Monique Haas, Eric Heidsieck and Magda Tagliaferro. Kahn and Averill, London, 1999 revised and enlarged second edition, first thus (originally published in 1992) hardback with dustwrapper. A conservative Good. Very top end of the grade. Downgraded as the dustwrapper has a semi-circular scrape mark running from top to bottom of rear panel which is quite heavily impressed. It has almost cut through the dustwrapper and there is a really faint line to the rear board in the same place. There is no actual separation however and were it not for this the book would be close to near fine. A tiny dot of a nick to bottom left of front panel of dw, next to spine, a few other minor indentations to dw. Else a strong near fine book in alike unsunned and unclipped dw.
