The Writings and Letters of Konrad Wolff

[Wolff] is a remarkable pianist, an excellent theoretician, a learned teacher, a brilliant thinker and writer. --Artur Schnabel

This collection of [Wolff's] writings and letters should bear ample testimony to a musician who happily combined the artist, the teacher, the musicologist, and the charm and integrity of a human being. --Alfred Brendel

Konrad Wolff writes about music with the verve and enthusiasm of a great teacher who has never lost his sense of music as an adventure. To read him is to enter into a lively dialogue with a superior musical mind and a buoyant spirit. --Richard Goode

This collection provides elegant and thorough portraits of an important 20th-century performer and lover of music, as well as of his greatest influences.
