Item description from seller

First Edition, 1st printing. 290pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, in AS NEW / unused condition. "THE PIANO HANDBOOK is a comprehensive single-volume course in playing all the major styles: classical, jazz, rock, Latin, and contemporary. It will appeal both to beginners and those with more experience, working with or without a teacher. The book provides progressive instruction in all areas of technique, including posture, fingering, pedalling, scales, and exercises. It introduces many of the classics of the instrument's repertoire, with advice on learning and interpretation. The book takes an original and fresh approach to the piano, teaching classical playing alongside jazz and rock, showing their common ground in techniques of improvisation and composition and their shared history. The same elements of theory are applied to interpreting the classics and creating jazz, bebop, fusion, and experimental music. The book includes an audio CD of selected examples and pieces. THE PIANO HANDBOOK prepares you not just to play, but to perform--and not just as a pianist, but as a complete musician." [publisher copy] Pristine hardcover deluxe edition w/brilliant corners & crisp edges (& unused CD) features a semi-concealed spiral binding, so the book stays open on the piano. No jacket as issued. Quite presentable.…
