"Completely revised to include new artists and recordings, as well as, for the first time, a CD of rare recordings of the piano literature, this is the only all-inclusive and up-to-date book containing profiles of every major pianist and his or her essential repertoire.

"The Art of the Piano is an essential resource for piano teachers, concert-goers, and other devotees of keyboard virtuosity."--Jacket.
