(Educational Piano Library). In engaging and informal language; Ruth Price invites pianists to look for the "magic" in well-known works from both concert and student repertoire. What gives a piece its identity? How can we get inside the composition in order to develop an interpretation? What makes us fall in love with certain passages? Right Before Your Eyes passionately delves into piano music through score study; based on the idea that if we start with our emotional reactions to the music; analysis and interpretation will flow more naturally. It is a valuable guide to score study for students at every level; and a must-have book for every piano teacher.

Keep it on your shelf forever!By Richard J. AlbertI was introduced to this book as an undergrad. Nearly twenty-five years later. I picked it up and re-read the most important chapters. and I feel even more confident about this recommendation.Prof. Hodges book gives you a way of working -- immediately -- and thats good. especially for someone going out there for the first time. His chapters on preparation and analysis are so well worded. it makes other important books on the same subject more understandable.The book is highly recommended for students. and as a reference for the rest of your life.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
