Piano Power, A Breakthrough Approach To Improving Your Technique
"A most intriguing and interesting book. I urge all pianists  to read it."  --Anthony Newman, Harpsichordist, Organist, Pianist"It would be hard for me to imagine any pianist, or health  care professional involved in the care and treatment of piano-related  hand problems, not being interested in this book. It is my  professional opinion, as a physician specializing in hand and wrist  problems, that the information presented in PIANO POWER is invaluable  to pianists of all levels."  --Paul D. Fragner, M.D., Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, Hand and Wrist Specialist,Westchester Bone & Joint Associates, White Plains, New York"PIANO POWER presents a sensible approach in addressing the  potential maladies of the pianist -- a welcome addition to the library  of any pianist."  --Lillie Rosenthal, D.O., Physician, Miller Health Care Institute for Performing Artists, St.Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, New York City"Thank you for the pre-publication copy of your book. The  subject is so important and has been kicked under the table for many  years. Gary Graffman, President of the Curtis Institute, is one of my  oldest and dearest friends; I watched the collapse of his fourth and  fifth finger and his subsequent retreat to repertoire for the left  hand. I have a personal theory that too much practice is as  destructive as too little practice. I'm sure that either Leon Fleisher  or Gary Graffman could fill you in on many more aspects of this  strange malady that attacks pianists. It extends from Clara Schumann  to Art Tatum, the latter playing those incredible arpeggios with  really the thumb, second and third fingers of his right  hand. Mr.Rachmaninov used to tell me that he constantly changed  fingerings, especially for recitals because of the fatigue in his  fingers. I certainly congratulate on your book, it should be shouted  from the housetops."  --SKITCH HENDERSON, Music Director and Founder of The New York Pops, Pre-publication review, February 1999."The subject is so important and has been kicked under the  table for many years. I certainly congratulate you on your book, it  should be shouted from the housetops."  --Skitch Henderson, Conductor, Music Director and Founder of The New York Pops
