What a fun and informative read about the history of piano playing from Mozart’s time to the mid-1980s (“the present� mentioned in the book’s subtitle). Schonberg writes in a humorous and easy-to-read manner, describing changes in piano construction, technique and interpretation over the centuries, as well as treating the reader to juicy gossip about the many pianists he discusses.
