## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book, full of details!
*by C***N on November 18, 2012*

Hello,Arrau speaks freely about his views on music and his personal life. I really enjoyed this book.I only wish that the interviewer had pursued some of the topics in this book with follow up questions. For example, at one point Arrau states: "Europe was like a museum", "Paderewski was not a great pianist. A very famous one, but not great." I would have liked if the interviewer could have followed up on these topics so that I can understand Arrau's point of view.Also, I would have questioned Arrau more on Rachmaninoff. Arrau states: "But I thought the sound [Rachmaninoff's] was not very good. And from the standpoint of interpretation, it was appalling. He [Rachmaninoff] didn't seem to care at all what the composer meant." Which composers is Arrau talking about? What made Rachmaninoff's interpretations "appalling"? Which specific compositions?Lastly, the author states: "though he [Arrau] regards Rachmaninoff as a shallow composer". When did this conversation take place? What made Rachmaninoff's works "shallow" in Arrau's eyes?This book is very good overall, rich in details, and I definitely recommend it to any music lover.Cheers,Charles Henri D.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of valuable pearls for piano players
*by J***Y on June 30, 2021*

Lots of valuable pearls for piano players.Easy to read. Obviously you can read part of it at a time, no need to read from cover to cover

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A pleasure to read
*by E***O on October 5, 2011*

If you like Beethoven, Liszt and play piano, reading this book will be a extremely enjoyable. Arrau words represent years and centuries of accumulated wisdom from Beethoven to the late romantics, with a spirit not so prevalent today.
