Stop and Listen

"Do you express the composer's thought and mood?
Do you express what you feel and wish?
Whatever it is, by all means express something!"

These are my favorite lines from "Basic Principles in Pianoforte Paying" by Josef Lhevinne.
His wife, Rosina Lhevinne was also the famous teacher of Julliard, who taught Van Cliburn and other well-kown pianists. I borrowed this book from Harry.
