This has been last week's read, and what a good one it was! Not only is it informative and inspiring, it is written with a nice lively pace and humorous tone so rare in this specialized genre.
In case the photo is not good enough: Notes from the Pianist's Bench from Boris Berman.
It distils passion and love for music and piano in every single page, talking from his perspective as a performer and as a teacher. Whilst he goes "technical" at times, it is easy to follow, and I would recommend it even to younger students. I definitely wish I had read this ten years ago. :) (As we always do, wishing things were done by yesterday!)
Little blog post: check, diary update: check. Saturday piano practice.. here we go!
Hope you all have a nice weekend,
Maite
