Description

"Being constantly criticised for excessive emotion and movement by her piano professors, Olga Bobrovnikova took inspiration and a new attitude to performance when she heard the recordings made in the 1890s of a forgotten pianist, Paul Pabst ... This lost history of the Russian Paino school revealed major differences in and controvery regarding the style of piano performance and to restore the old style that supports her passion for pleasure in performance, Ogla made a study of the neurology of her MS-damaged brain to create this unique book, which is a fusion of fascinating musical history, a wide review of scientific research, and details of a new performance method"-- back cover.
