Phenomenal
I borrowed the book from my library and it is simply phenomenal. The advice on the technical aspect and interpretation aspect of piano are nothing short of fantastic. I loved the many allusions to other well-known piano books (such as Sandor’s On Piano Playing) as well as other literary references. For me the words on the last section of the book gave me the most inspiration and encouragement and it is incredibly evident in the various anecdotes that he provides that he has dealt with a vast array of problems. Many words seemed to be direct directed at me specifically in some moments.
