Worth Reading
17. March 2020
A very special and almost forgotten book is this one written by the famous pianist Josef Hofmann Piano Playing. In it, J. Hofmann provides insights into his understanding of piano playing - and he answers the typical questions of his pupils at the time in a very concrete way. An interesting book for those interested in music and pianists - written by one of the most successful pianists of the time and best known for his perfection.
