Among the world's instruments, the piano stands out as the most versatile, powerful, and misunderstood -- even by those who have spent much of their lives learning to play. In Piano Notes, a finalist for a 2003 National Book Critics Circle Award, Charles Rosen, one of the world's most talented pianists, distills a lifetime of wisdom and lore into an unforgettable tour of the hidden world of piano playing. You'll read about how a note is produced, why a chord can move us, why the piano -- "hero and villain" of tonality -- has shaped the course of Western music, and why it is growing obsolete. Rosen explains what it means that Beethoven composed in his head whereas Mozart would never dream of doing so, why there are no fortissimos in the works of Ravel, and why a piano player's acrobatics have an important dramatic effect but nothing more. Ending on a contemplative note, Piano Notes offers an elegant argument that piano music "is not just sound or even significant sound" but a mechanical, physical, and fetishistic experience that faces new challenges in an era of recorded music. Rosen ponders whether piano playing will ever again be the same, and his insights astonish.
这本书读的让我略微有点吐血， 尤其是看到一些关于他说只有在机械的练琴后才能开始去凝听自己的声音。 我就有点orz了。可能我觉得这种方式方法应该比较适合有professional music training 的人（比如从小四进音乐学院的孩子们） 。 因为他们不用去deal with performing nervou...

钢琴生涯的方方面面，挺有意思。最后一章和尾声勾勒了一部三百年钢琴艺术的简史，读完对现代音乐产生兴趣，但听了几首勋伯格之后觉得还是再缓缓。

业余爱好者也可以读懂的书，很多有共鸣的地方，比如说对钢琴“音色”的产生和控制，作者的解释有一语道破天机的感觉。
