Excerpt from The Principles of Expression in Pianoforte Playing
After a test of many years, in which the application of these principles has been most advantageous to myself and my pupils, and thinking that an amplified exposition of them might be useful to others, I determined upon the compilation of this work, which, during the last five years, has filled up the measure of my spare time.
Notwithstanding all the pains I have bestowed upon its preparation I am fully aware of its numerous imperfections. But, as the higher the aim the further removed must be the point of excellence aimed at, even as the more we learn, the wider the field of knowledge becomes, disclosing to us the infinitely small share of merit we may claim in any undertaking, I can only trust that this book may benefit those for whom it is written, and leave it to the fair judgment of critics, who, while they find it easy to detect faults, can also duly appreciate difficulties.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound world of musical expression, specifically as it pertains to piano performance. The author, acknowledging the common misconception that expression solely stems from emotion, argues that it is built upon a foundation of principles and techniques that can be studied and mastered. Through a detailed analysis, the author examines the role of intelligence alongside emotion in creating a compelling performance. He emphasizes that while emotion, often considered the driving force behind artistic expression, is a powerful but unpredictable element, intelligence provides the structure and control necessary to translate emotion into a coherent musical language. The author then proceeds to meticulously dissect the mechanics of accentuation, exploring the nuances of touch and the importance of rhythmic, metric, melodic, and harmonic accents in shaping a musical piece. In challenging the traditional approach to accentuation, the author offers a systematic framework for understanding and applying these principles, thereby equipping musicians with the tools to unlock the full potential of their performance. This comprehensive exploration of musical expression serves as a valuable guide for those seeking to understand the intricate connection between artistry and intellect in piano performance.
