Customer Reviews

Simply indispensable, without qualifications

One would do well to read the good reviews of this book printed in other editions for the content. Let me just add my voice to the fact that this is the indispensable volume on Mozart's piano concertos. My copy should be worn out by now since I have studied it faithfully for over 50 years, but since it is a Dover edition it is still well intact! I spent an entire summer reading Girdlestone's descriptions of each piano concerto with scores in front of me before I played them. The amount of useful information in this book is simply astounding.
