Index
Eleanor Bailie has a disciplined yet refreshingly natural way of dealing with the necessary regard for structure and detail, and ceaseless care for the many technical problems present in Chopin’s works, balanced simply and convincingly by the sheer love of music. This is a rare talent indeed…’
Peter Katin
The author has a unique way of involving us and of instilling into the pianists compulsion to turn to that particular piece and find out more about it. In summary, this book is a treasure-trove.’
Beryl Chempin – Piano Journal
This book exudes the love and practical knowledge of Chopin’s work. It will help pianists, teachers and students to enter the unique world of Chopin.’
