Technique and Music Interpretation

[stephenv]

Does anyone remember Guy Maier, who once was well known as one of the best teachers in the US?   I feel a sense of loss and regret that his work seems almost forgotten or at worst, ignored.   Sadly most of his published works, with Herbert Bradshaw,  on technique, "Thinking Fingers books 1 and 2" are rarely available and not in the public domain. I have seen a small book, "The Piano Teacher's Companion,"  of excerpts from the Q and A section of the Etude for which he worked at one time. .  This was published by his wife after his death.  In this you get a feel for his personality and way of teaching. One of his colleagues was Francis Clark, whose name seems well known today.  I think you might find it interesting to check out his work.
