Description
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.
