" . . . a most precious book which every serious pianist and teacher must own." —Journal of the American Liszt Society Joseph Banowetz and four distinguished contributors provide practical suggestions and musicological insights on the pedaling of keyboard works from the 18th to the 20th century.
The Performing Pianist's Guide to Fingering, the much-anticipated companion to Joseph Banowetz's The Pianist's Guide to Pedaling, provides practical fingering solutions for technical musical passages. Banowetz contends that fingering choices require much thought and consideration and that too often these choices are influenced by historical traditions and ideas rather than by actual performance conditions. By returning to the unedited original compositions, he strives to help the advanced pianist think through the composer's musical intent and the actual performance tempo and dynamics when selecting the fingering. Banowetz also includes valuable contributions by Philip Fowke, who examines redistributions by Benno Moiseiwitsch in Rachmaninoff's compositions, and Nancy Lee Harper, who explores the often very different approaches to fingering found in keyboard music of the Baroque era. The Performing Pianist's Guide to Fingering will be useful to the advanced pianist and to instructors looking to guide students in improving this important art.
Written by a renowned musician who served as a mentor to Leonard Bernstein, this classic guide explains pedaling's most important uses and assists in the development of instincts for musical and artistic pedaling.

This early intermediate to intermediate piano volume features the most widely taught preludes by twentieth-century Russian composer Samuel Maykapar. Maykapar wrote these preludes to introduce piano students to many different types of pedal technique. The preludes, written in a highly Romantic style, are valuable for both study and performance. This volume includes an excellent composer biography and extensive performance notes. It is also an important reference work on use of pedal.
