Well-Known Piano Solos: How to Play Them by Charles W. Wilkinson is a rare gem for music lovers. Hidden within its many pages are pearls of wisdom which aspiring or even well-trained musicians may not find elsewhere. Wilkinson has undertaken the rather mammoth task of deconstructing some of the finest pianists' style of playing and provided the reader with a detailed analysis of some of the best known piano solos of all time. Well-Known Piano Solos: How to Play Them provides an engaging analysis of the very basis of any composition and Wilkinson's style of writing not only allows the reader to step in to the shoes of famous pianists but also encourages young students to master the technique of playing the piano correctly with numerous mentions of measures, dots, bars and chords. Some of the pianists who find their place in this work include Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, Debussy and Grieg among others. Even without a separate section on musical notations for each of the pieces described in this work, Wilkinson is able to provide the reader with pointers on mastering them quickly.Wilkinson takes up individual pieces and in the course of explaining the technicalities of playing them correctly, provides a treasure trove of information and trivia which readers may not find in other books. His narrative on Chopin and Bach especially is worth mentioning as he skilfully simplifies some of the most complex piano compositions of these legends. Since this is not a purely technical work, Well-Known Piano Solos: How to Play Them would provide immense pleasure to casual enthusiasts and trained pianists alike.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
