"... Richard Simdars has provided a valuable source whose significance is not only historical, but pedagogic: the descriptions illuminate von Bulow's magnetic musical personality from within, and highlight not only the rigorous precision, but also the spontaneous intimacy of his piano master classes.The detailed instructions, often bar by bar regarding dynamics, agogics and fingerings, form the core of the book..... Zimdars appealing, fluent translation is both interesting and correct and well conveys the beauty of its subject.... the book represents an admirable musicological achievement. It will certainly ensure that von Bulow's master classes contine to stimulate, educate and entertain pianists, muscians and all those interested in the history of musical interpretation into the next century." -- Piano Journal, "This is, indeed, a very important publication for pianists and piano students... very important comments on technical matters as fingerings, etc., as well as interpretative indications are given... Therefore it is so important to go back to the old sources and traditions, to Liszt, to Bulow, and their pupils, trying to understand the contents of musical works and the interpretative possibilities.... This book on the master classes of Hans von Bulow is a very important guide as a great pianistic tradition is conveyed to pianists and students." -- Liszt Saeculum, "... Zimdars also provides a useful introduction, annotations, and six appendixes... the two authors provide a valuable record of a nineteenth-century 'Master' who spoke with total authority from and unquestioning sense that his musical values were a part of a vital, unbroken tradition extending from the time of J.S. Bach.Bulow's concerns embrace every aspect of music-making at the piano, from commonsense advice on fingering and tonal projection, to questions of style and interpretation. Because his responses to the full range of piano literature generally exhibit logic, insight, and good taste, present-day pianists will find much of value in his comments." -- Notes

    Shipping was fast and right on time!! I just got it in the mail a few seconds ago! The packaging was secure and protected and the CD was exactly as shown and as described on the seller's page and the CD: PANTyRAiD-THE SAUCE (Very Rare) was priced according to the value of its rarity. I will most certainly be a returning customer again to this seller! Thank you for a worth-while experience!!!!

    Item arrived VERY TIMELY because the seller used the US Postal Service to ship (and not some POS third-rate 'shipping partner' to needlessly delay shipping) and it was well packaged and arrived in good condition and is exactly as described. Thank you very much. ALL GOOD!!!
