Born in Poland in 1830, Theodor Leschetizky was a pianist, teacher, and composer. Although he toured widely as both a player and conductor, and composed two operas and a number of piano pieces, it was as a teacher that he achieved his greatest renown. A pupil himself of the great Carl Czerny, Leschetizky went on to instruct an entire generation of world-class pianists, including Paderewski, Schnabel, Moiseiwitsch, Brailowsky, and many others.
This hard-to-find book documents principles and techniques of the legendary piano teacher, who taught Paderewski, Schnabel, and many other greats. Clear, easy-to-follow text, profusely illustrated with music examples and photographs of hand positions. Includes finger exercises, scales, octaves, chords, arpeggios, dynamics, the pedal, many other topics.
Reprint of The Leschetizky Method: An Exposition of His Personal Views/Published with his approval by his assistant Malwine Brée, The University Society Inc., New York, 1913.
