The Art of Piano Playing

'We are very fortunate that Heinrich Neuhaus recorded his thoughts, ideas, and principles in his book The Art of Piano Playing, first published in 1967. Even today, a good many teachers around the world regard this book as the most authoritative source on the subject of playing the piano.' Hermione Lai – Interlude.hk; 'This book is arguably the best single book on piano playing, which it discusses in every aspect from the physical to the philosophical. It is a mine of information and anecdote, and no serious pianist should be without it on their bookshelf.' Graham Fitch - practisingthepiano.com; 'I can unreservedly recommend this book. It contains not a single wrong or questionable remark, and is eminently practical. Three or four lines of print might suddenly open the eyes of this or that pupil, and change his whole career for the better ... in sum, a must.' Paul Hamburger; 'Heinrich Neuhaus' ... legacy continues today - through his pupils, his grand-pupils, great-grand pupils, and through the many teachers around the world who regard his book as the most authoritative on the subject of piano playing.' Francis Wilson - crosseyedpianist.com; 'I have come to the conclusion that The Art of Piano Playing by Heinrich Neuhaus is essential reading for pianists. I highly recommend getting hold of this book and taking the time to read it carefully. Don't be afraid to take notes! Many of Neuhaus' perspectives really opened my eyes.'
