An excellent and critical guide to the subject of Left Handed Piano Music. In valuable to any pianist who, hopefully temporarily, cannot use their left hand and a fascinating account for all of the repitoire for this genre and the story of pianists who have overcome a permaninent disability.

This fascinating book is a 'must have' for piano players. The author is a succesful performer and teacher and really knows what he is talking about. Not just a dry list of published works, the author fills the book with interesting historical backgound information and technical evaluations of the works listed. I have read and studied this book a great deal and it is a real gem!

This book is a must for all lovers of rare piano music. There are examples, suggested recordings, and decriptions listed after each entry. At the beginning of the book there are chapters on Dreyschock, Fumagalli, Zichy, and Wittgenstein, four of the early champions of left-hand piano music. This book is a wonderful reasearch tool as well as fun and very intresting reading!
