Description

Louis Kentner covers all aspects of the piano in this comprehensive and fascinating dissertation. As well as practical material there are pages of instruction on technique including a chapter on the use of the pedal, some hints on singing tone and legato, advice on practising, and a do-it-yourself guide to basic tuning. Kentner provides a penetrating analysis of much of Chopin's and Liszt's piano music and contributes a unique and detailed study of Beethoven's thirty-two piano sonatas. The book includes some selected further reading and a discography.

In 1935 he moved to England giving many radio and concert performances. He was President of the British Liszt Society and a director of the Menuhin School of Music.
