Malwine Brée, a student and later assistant of Theodor Leschetizky, one of the greatest pianists and teachers, wrote this book ‘with the master’s authorization’, despite his dislike of theoretical piano methods. It contains essential elements of the so-called ‘Leschetizky method’, with numerous illustrations of the master’s hand positions. At the same time, it offers interesting insights into Theodor Leschetizky’s understanding of music and performance practice. The section on pedaling contains notes on the particularities of his style of piano playing. 98 pages. We offer a PDF copy of this rare book for research purposes on request.
