Description

A complete guide to interpretation of music and the rules and principles of playing and teaching the piano.

Although written with pianists in mind, the principles are applicable to any instrument or any form of music, including composition and teaching.

This book is highly recommended for those wishing to learn or those who teach the piano, and it would make for a fantastic addition to musical collections. The main points dealt with are: a) The difference between letting a pupil shift for himself and helping him to learn; b) the difference between mere cramming and real teaching; c) the difference between making a pupil 'do things' and teaching him to think; d) the exposition of the true nature of Rhythm and Shape in music - as Progression or Movement towards definite landmarks; e) the true nature of Rubato in all its forms, small or large, simple or compound, and the laws of application; f) consideration of the element of Duration; includes rules as to the application of Tone-Variety, Fingering, Memorizing and some speculations as to the ultimate reason of the power that music has over us. Tobias Augustus Matthay (1858 – 1945) was an English pianist, composer, and teacher.

He was taught composition while at the Royal Academy of Music by Arthur Sullivan and Sir William Sterndale Bennett, and he was instructed in the piano by William Dorrell and Walter Macfarren.

Other notable works by this author include: “The Act Of Touch In All Its Diversity: An Analysis And Synthesis Of Pianoforte Tone Production” (1903), “The First Principles of Pianoforte Playing (1905)” and “Relaxation Studies” (1908).

Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.

It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
