This book distils what; at my advanced age; I feel able to say about music; musicians; and matters of my pianistic profession. Ever since Alfred Brendel bid farewell to the concert stage after six decades of performing; he has been passing on his insight and experience in the form of lectures; readings and master-classes. This reader for lovers of the piano distils his musical and linguistic eloquence and vast knowledge; and will prove invaluable to anyone with an interest in the technique; history and repertoire of the piano. Erudite; witty; enlightening and deeply personal; A Pianists A to Z is the ideal book for all piano lovers; musicians and music aficionados: rarely has the instrument been described in such an entertaining and intelligent fashion.

DannemillerI dont think there is really any competition for Schwartz in the housing policy textbook arena. The book was comprehensive in the first edition; and it has been updated frequently and well. This latest edition establishes HPITUS as the central text on US housing policy. It covers all the foundational topics and is delivered without favoritism. It should be read first; purchased in hardback; and keep as a resource.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
