Piano Mastery Talks - Reading Together - Germaine Schnitzer


"Technic is evolved from thought, from hearing great music, from much listening to great players; intent listening to one's own playing, and to the effects one strives to make."
(page 150, Kindle Edition)

"I make, however, various technical exercises out of all difficult passages in pieces."
(page 153, Kindle Edition)

Piano Mastery Talks - Reading Together - Eugene Heffley


"The teacher must be something of a psychologist, or how can he correctly judge of the pupil's temperament, his tastes, his mentality, and what to do for him?"

Piano Mastery Talks - Reading Together - Agnes Morgan


"I give special preparatory exercises for pedal use. Placing the heel on the floor, and the forepart of the foot on the pedal, they learn to make one depression with every stroke of the metronome; when this can be done with ease, then two depressions to the beat, and so on."
(page 142, Kindle Edition)

"While necessary and important, the technical foundation is after all but a small part compared to the training for rhythmic sense, and for the knowledge of how to produce good and beautiful results in musical interpretation."
(page 143, Kindle Edition)
