My Life and Music,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Life and Music (Paperback)
What an interesting book. For anyone who is a pianist, this book is a must in their library. The book is divided into two parts. The first is biographic while the second covers lectures given at university. This biography was not one of those straight forward "I did this and that." What I found most interesting about this book was how much Schnabel talked about the social history and way of life in late nineteenth century Europe. Not only as it related to music but the arts in general. Schnabel is so eloquent and intelligent that while you're reading this book, you get the feeling that you're actually living the musical experience with him. Piano enthusiasts will appreciate this book in order to have a better feel for what kind of life style a concert pianist lived a hundred years ago.

This review is from: My Life and Music (Paperback)
Schnabel recounts his encounters with Brahms, Strauss, Horowitz, being a student Lechietzky's and his world. A must have for its historical account, stories, encounters, and sheer entertainment.
