Quote from: Mandryka on July 18, 2025, 01:50:26 PMWell his op 58 is quite jazzy enough for me!

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?

Rosenthal was one of the wittiest, most intelligent musicians ever. This book is irrefutable evidence for that:

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.

You might be able to borrow it from a library or see if you can read it at a college that has a good music library.

Yes, thank you. Note the illuminating preface by Charles Rosen.

Yeah, but that is highly restrictive. They don't allow downloads, and you are forced to read it on their web reader, mobile app, or buy a Nook. For that price, that is a huge NO. I would expect an unrestrictive DRM-free download or a physical book for $30.
