Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 175 pages. Published in 1987. Retrospective collection of now-classic interviews. One of the most valuable books on music of the 20th century. The 1987 true First Edition.

The production values are exemplary in every respect: Maroon cloth boards with gilt titles on the cover and spine, as issued.

Who just happen to include some of the greatest figues of the 20th century, fully engaged here, resulting in an immersive and enlightening experience for music reader/lovers. "In 1983, I endeavored to interview a cross-section of pianists whose artistic concerns would express the full gamut of piano practice and performance. The three-year project resulted in this book, which celebrates the talent of internationally-known keyboard artists. In the conversational interviews that follow, the artists talk about the nature of their craft, practicing, and performing. The whole gamut of these issues is discussed: From expressing their views on learning music to reflecting on thoughts of the future of the piano, the artists clearly indicate their philosophical and musical insights in a refreshingly candid manner. Interviewed are Vladimir Ashkenazy, Jorge Bolet, John Browning, Bella Davidovich, Misha Dichter, Janina Fialkowska, Rudolf Firkusny, Leon Fleisher, Andre-Michel Schub, Abbey Simon, Ralph Votapek, and Andre Watts" (Linda J. Noyle). An absolute "must-have" title for music lovers/aficionados/collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of very few copies of the 1987 First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws ("Very Good") or are the Reissued Edition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Twelve of the greatest pianists of the 20th century. A fine copy. ISBN 0810819538. no.

Add to basketCondition: Near Fine. First edition in publisher's original illustrated stiff card wrap covers [soft back]. 8vo. 8½'' x 5¼''. 'To Richter (no first name necessary), warm greetings to the best pianist in the Soviet Union - indeed in the whole world.' Prokofiev. Throughout a life dedicated to music, Richter maintained a stubborn s…ilence about his own ideals and aspirations. Here at last he opens up his heart in these exceptional interviews with Bruno Monsaingeon, who became close to Richter not long before the pianist's death in 1995. These conversations take us on a journey which begins with Richter's childhood memories, follows his early career and his development into 'an artist of the people', and finally charts his rise to international acclaim. Richter's personal notebooks, kept for nearly thirty years, constitute an unparalleled witness to the music of our time. The pianist writes with precision, humour and clarity and is uninhibitedly himself. These are the private thoughts of a nonconformist, one of the greatest performers of the century, yet one whose life was inextricably bound to the history of the USSR. Contains [xxxii] 432 printed pages of text with monochrome photographs throughout. Slight age tanning to the closed page edges and in near Fine condition, no dust wrapper as issued.

Add to basketOblong-8vo. 6 pp. Long letter to the Spanish pianist Antonio Baciero (geb. 1936).Ahora, a esperar y quizás otros dos años en tener una contestación tuya. Porque, Dios sabe cuál será tu nueva dirección.Solo conocía estos casos por la prensa de provincias donde a veces suele leerse: "Betanzos. Recibe una postal a los 15 años de su… expedición, etc." Pero resulta que sin ir a Betanzos, también en Madrid pasa lo mismo.Ayer he recibido desde la Comisaría de la Música tu carta.Ya sabrás que esta "sede" (de tantas cosas.) trasladó sus oficinas de Alcalá al Teatro Real. Y al mismo tiempo, cambio de Ministro incluyendo el último gato, fórmulas, costumbres, normas. En fin: lo de siempre.En una carpeta desvencijada, en cuya polvorienta tapa se transparentaba un vago título de "Varios". Carpeta que, entre cascotes, yeso, pintura, urgencias de traslado, y docenas de nuevos "reestructuradores" (léase: los nuevos Antonio de las Heras), quedó para más tarde. Como todo lo que es "Varios".Pensar que me han privado de 2 años de placer al leer tu carta los discípulos de Santa Cecilia, es para asesinarlos.¿Has venido por Madrid en todo este tiempo? Quizás sí, pero no habrás querido saber nada de mí ignorando mi viva la Pepe.Yo sé que iré a Düsseldorf en septiembre próximo para las conocidas "Noches" de Don Manué con Rafael Frühbeck. Si sigues en Alemania y viviendo en la misma dirección, tentaciones me dan de acercarme hasta ahí, si es que ese "ahí" no está a la otra punta del país. Y aun así, lo haría gustosísimamente.Y por la sencilla razón de que eres una persona que me caes de bien. Como dicen ahora, aparte de admirarte como artista y como pianista.Mira Antonio, hablándote a lo bruto:Por Achúcarro no iría ni a Aranjuez.Por Orozco ni a Toledo, que toca dentro de 2 semanas, y el hombre toca un rato largo.Por etc. etc. ni a San Bernardo 44. Pero por ti haría peregrinación a pie. Solo por la emoción de oírte unos compases de Bach.Tu forma de realizar me conmueve hasta lo más íntimo, y un dulce "dejarse llevar" me proporciona los momentos más deliciosos de sabores auditivos.A veces te oigo grabaciones por Radio Nacional que me conmueven. Y siempre he pensado con nostalgia el que nos conociéramos tan oficialmente y tan poco humanamente. Siempre lo lamenté.Pero tu carta, aunque irritantemente tarde, me resarce de un tiempo perdido, porque ahora (aunque ya no nos viésemos más) sí noto tu mano con la mía en amistoso apretón, más tangible y verdadero que cuando nos dimos la mano en el Conservatorio.No quiero causarte más. Solo decirte que deseo vivamente una noticia tuya de vez en cuando, asegurándote que soy de tus más grandes admiradores. Te lo digo desde mi corazón."- Aus der Autographensammlung des spanischen Pianisten Antonio Baciero (geb. 1936).

Add to basketAttractive collection of portraits of five jazz greats, those of Paul Bley and John Lewis are vintage prints from the studio of Burt Goldblatt, with wet stamps on verso. Goldblatt's New York Times obituary describes him as "a prolific designer of moody jazz LP album covers. In the early 1950s, after the introduction of the LP, t…he most progressive American cover designs were created for jazz albums, and Mr. Goldblatt was among the pioneers in establishing the cool-jazz style. It encompassed black-and-white portraits and studio photographs, inspired by film noir, as well as gritty street scenes, often abstractly overlaid with flat colours, evoking a sense of urban night life". The study of Paul Bley shows him performing at the Newport Jazz Festival, where Goldblatt was very much the house photographer, publishing an illustrated history of the festival in 1977. Bley, in the avant-garde of developments in the music, "has produced vivid, vital jazz couched in an advanced and challenging idiom" (Cook & Morton). That of John Lewis - leader of the MJQ, one of the most successful small groups in jazz - is an intimate close-up shot of him at the keyboard. Bill Evans is shown standing at the keyboard working through some changes with another musician, perhaps drummer Kenny Clarke; the figure at Evans's elbow may be fellow-pianist Hank Jones. Similarly, Tommy Flanagan, sporting a flat cap and plaid shirt, is going over material with drummer Roy Haynes. Flanagan is perhaps best known for his work accompanying Ella Fitzgerald and Tony Bennett, emerging in the '70s and '80s as "a bebopper of gentlemanly distinction" (Cook & Morton). The shot of Wynton Kelly is a delightful unguarded portrait, showing him at the piano smiling and clearly in conversation, sporting a hat with upturned brim and hip suit. Like Evans, Kelly played on Miles Davis's timeless album Kind of Blue and is described by the All About Jazz website as "a superb accompanist loved by Miles Davis and Cannonball Adderley". Richard Cook & Brian Morton, The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings, eighth ed., 2006. Five original silver gelatin prints (each 254 x 200 mm). Bley: identified on verso in black felt tip, Burt Goldblatt wetstamp; Evans: identified on verso in pencil; Flanagan: identified on verso in pencil; Kelly: ghost of tape marks on verso; Lewis: identified on verso in blue ballpoint, Burt Goldblatt wetstamp. Very slight blue ink smudging to the front of the image of Bley, otherwise all in excellent condition.
