  • Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: March 19 2006 review from Amazon User
    Pros & Cons :
    but it is true, also, that in the latter half of the 20th century, much of piano playing was reduced to the mere technicalities of hitting the right notes in the right places at the right time, the poetry of the music pretty much forgotten, displaced by waffle iron tachnique.

    ...In a way, I can understand the attitude of the reviewer below who prefers to play the piano with a waffle iron --- that is, who claims all notes sound the same no matter how the keys are struck. W ... read more

    even a beginner like me can appreciate the value of his very generous advice.
