Excerpt from What Every Piano Pupil Should Know: A Manual for Piano StudentsMost of the books about the piano are written for teachers or i for advanced players. Here, however, is one that is written for you, and you alone - whether you are just a beginner or have been studying for some time. I know, from long experience, how many questions are continually popping into your mind-such as why you should attempt to play the piano, how you should practice, what the piano is made of, what kinds of music have been written for it, and by whom this music has been composed. So I have tried to an swer at least the most important of these questions, and to indicate how you may find answers to the others.It would be an excellent idea for you to read the book straight through, from cover to cover, so that you may not miss anything. You will gain still more if, during this reading, you try to answer the questions that are given at the end of each chapter. But if all this seems too much of a task, perhaps your teacher will refer you to certain sections, as questions arise, or, better still, you can look up whatever you need by consulting the headings and subtitles of the chapters.Anyway, I hope that in these pages you may find suggestions and explanations that will make your piano work clearer and pleasanter for you, and that will help you to realize what an unfailing joy music may become, if it be studied in the right way and in the right Spirit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
