O knihe

Originally written to be read in conjunction with Matthay's "The Child's First Steps", this book aims to offer young children and beginner piano players a series of exercises that will prove invaluable to their playing and allow them to proficiently play their first pieces of music. Tobias Augustus Matthay (1858 - 1945) was an English pianist, composer, and teacher. He was taught composition while at the Royal Academy of Music by Arthur Sullivan and Sir William Sterndale Bennett, and he was instructed in the piano by William Dorrell and Walter Macfarren. Other notable works by this author include: "The Act Of Touch In All Its Diversity" (1903), "The First Principles of Pianoforte Playing (1905)" and "Relaxation Studies" (1908). Contents include: "Weight-Touch with Arm Sideways", "Weight-Touch with First Turned Over, Knuckles Up", "Weight-Touch with Fingers Closed Together", "Weight-Touch with Fingers Opened Out", "Rotatory Exertions and Relaxations at Alternate Sides of the Hand", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
