The Pedagogical Writings of Marguerite Long
Marguerite Long, the most important French female pianist of the
20th century, left her stamp on a whole epoch of musical life in
Paris. The Pedagogical Writings of Marguerite Long
presents English translations of the two major contributions of
Marguerite Long to the literature of piano pedagogy. These
translations of her pedagogical works, Le Piano and La
Petite Méthode de piano , provide a window to the old French
school of pianism as modernized by Long. Le Piano is a
remarkable text offering piano playing techniques and pragmatic and
philosophical musings and observations about life, musicians,
careers, and more. La Petite Méthode de piano is a
personal manifesto about how to introduce children to music. Both
works are treasures revealing Long's lifelong commitment to
teaching and they are still stunningly relevant. In addition, John
Ellis analyzes each work and puts it in historical context. He
places special emphasis on Long's illustrious international career,
her teaching, her rivalry with Alfred Cortot, and the impact of
sexism on her life and work. Ellis addresses the eclipse of Long's
reputation by that of Cortot and fills a gap in the knowledge of
Long's place in the history of pedagogical heritage.

The Piano
A fascinating history of the piano explored through 100
pieces chosen by one of the UK's most renowned concert
pianists An astonishingly versatile instrument, the piano
allows just two hands to play music of great complexity and
subtlety. For more than two hundred years, it has brought solo and
collaborative music into homes and concert halls and has inspired
composers in every musical genre-from classical to jazz and light
music. Charting the development of the piano from the late
eighteenth century to the present day, pianist and writer Susan
Tomes takes the reader with her on a personal journey through 100
pieces including solo works, chamber music, concertos, and jazz.
Her choices include composers such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven,
Robert Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Gershwin, and Philip Glass.
Looking at this history from a modern performer's perspective, she
acknowledges neglected women composers and players including Fanny
Mendelssohn, Maria Szymanowska, Clara Schumann, and Amy Beach.
