Piano Books

[8426]

I am currently searching for piano books on technique and such. I have seymour fink and was wondering if there were other or better books I should get. Also is Alan Fraser a good book to study? I would like the best no matter how hard to understand.

Amazon has plenty, the alan fraser book is very good also, you might want to look into his DVD also "the craft of piano playing" as it explains everything in the book except you get to visually see what he is talking about.

Check "Fundamentals of Piano Practice " by Chuan C. Chang. www.sinerj.org/~loyer/entirebook.pdf
I guess it is almost the best and most complete book ever wrote about piano.

..........yes...I have already. Some of you don't remember me. I am expanding my overall knowledge of piano. Chang has some good aspects but...I want to know if Mr. Fraser is saying the most correct thing (is it totally correct that Liszt used it) , eventually I will create my own way by taking what is most necessary from other.

Apart from all this who are some good biographers?For Liszt, Mozart, Bach and Beethoven?

I had a professor that swore by Jozef Gat's "The Technique of Piano Playing."
You might want to check it out.
