Product Description
The Hungarian composer BZla Bart-k (1881-1945) studied the piano with a pupil of Franz Liszt and was himself an outstanding pianist. He composed over 300 pieces for the piano, many of which belong in the standard repertory of most students and professional pianists. Yet this book is the first attempt to come to grips with his entire piano output from the perspective of the performer as distinct from that of the music historian, biographer, or analyst. Pianist Barbara Nissman has made a close study of the works in the course of preparing a complete recording of them, and here offers her insights and suggestions for interpretation and performance. Paying particular attention to the Piano Sonata of 1926, the suite Out of Doors, and the three piano concertos, she looks at Bart-k's other works in chapters on folk music, the composer as teacher, and juvenilia. She includes a discography of Bart-k's own recordings, an annotated bibliography, and a CD containing her own recordings of selected works, including the little-known early sonata of 1898.

Top rate words from a concert pianist November 25, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Written ebulliently by an acclaimed pianist who's been there done that, lends definitive veracity to this guide. This is the ideal technical and interpretative Bartok manual for advanced pianists. Her detailed coverage of style, form and structure makes it useful for the listener too if you can read music and follow Nissman's copious music examples. An inset CD of music examples played by Nissman and a full discography of Bartok's own recorded performances (many now restored on to CD) are added bonuses.
