by Amy Fay (Author), Frances Dillon (Introduction)
In this series of letters written between November 1869 and May
1875, a young American pianist, Amy Fay, recounts the thrilling
experience of studying piano with such great teachers as Liszt, Tausig,
and Kullak. Printed 21 times in America, published also in London, and
translated into French and German, this book has clearly established its
wide appeal to music students.
The author describes the customs and
mores, the place of interest, and the people she encountered during her
stay in Germany, then the music capital of the world. In a vivid style
and with youthful exuberance, she imparts to the reader her impressions
of performances by Anton Rubinstein, Clara Schumann, Tausig, Liszt, the
great violinist Joachim, Wagner (as conductor), and other notables of
music history. Her account of a reception and concert in honor of Wagner
is especially fascinating.
But the sections of this entirely
engaging work that are of primary importance to music students,
particularly to students and teachers of the piano, are the author's
detailed accounts of the teaching methods of the great piano virtuosi.
Interesting pictures of lessons of Tausig's conservatory, of Kullak's
teaching techniques, and, above all, a unique portrait of Liszt the man,
the teacher, and the performer emerge from these letters. So valued are
Amy Fay's impressions of Liszt, in fact, that these sections alone are
regarded as a miniature classic. For this Dover edition, Professor
Frances Dillon of the Mannes College of Music contributed an informative
introduction.
Because of her position as a student working closely
with Liszt, Tausig, Kullak, and Deppe, Amy Fay was able to reveal many
little-known facets of their work and their teaching techniques. Her
obvious enthusiasm and serious attitude towards her study make this a
work of great liveliness and rare insight. Not only students of the
piano, but all musicologists will find her comments and descriptions
invaluable. And the general reader should enjoy the many anecdotes and
personal glimpses of these famous names in music.
