About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Dell Publishing Co. 1997. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. There must be thousands of adults who have always wanted to play piano but just never got around to it. This book is by one who did. It's part autobiography, and, since the author is host of National Public Radio's All Things Considered, the result is a look into an interesting life. It's also part journal of Adams's first year with the piano-buying it, practicing and not practicing it, and various attempts at learning to play it, ranging from the solitude of the Miracle computer system to the companionship of a stint at the ten-day Autumn Sonata workshop in Bennington. This thoughtful book is sprinkled with history of the piano and pianists, and there are also excerpts from on-air interviews with pianists ranging from Lew Fleisher to Tori Amos, from Dr. John to Lorie Line. An absorbing book for anyone who's ever played piano or just wanted to. 250 pages. Prev. owners name on top of Ffep. Very very light rubbing on top & bottom of spine and along some parts of outside edges..
