Dear listers,<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I'd like to pass on the review from the Wall Street Journal of a book recommended by a colleague regarding piano performance practices that looks quite interesting; apparently the writer feels that much spontaneity and expressivity and passion has been lost in the modern age of digital editing of multiple takes, etc. with its emphasis on restraining one's more personal interpretive tendencies; the Apollonian approach vs. the Dionysion, I guess. Apparently the book is at the top of the list of music-related books selling on Amazon currently. (No, I have no connection with the writer!).</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120122345824015449.html?mod=2_1167_1">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120122345824015449.html?mod=2_1167_1</a></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Best regards,<br><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div>Allen Wright</div><div>London, UK</div><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span> </div><br></div></body></html>
