I think Rosenthal was the pianist Rubinstein reacted against when he developed his new Chopin style.


Yes, Rosenthal is jazzy if not flamboyant like Cortot. I guess Rubinstein wanted to play Chopin less sentimental and more intellectual/spiritual?

Florestan

Yep, out of print. These are the kind of things that make me wish it weren't so hard for books to pass into the public domain. So many books don't have enough interest to keep publishing, so they end up becoming unavailable to the few that do want to read them.
