András Schiff writes and speaks about piano repertoire from the perspective of a performer especially associated with Bach, Beethoven, Schubert and Mozart. Music Comes Out of Silence, based on conversations with Martin Meyer, moves through his childhood, teachers, repertoire, concert life and ideas about interpretation, while also discussing the discipline of listening and the responsibilities of performers towards a score. Published interviews and lecture material often focus closely on phrasing, tempo, articulation and the character of individual works rather than on celebrity memoir. Schiff's style is reflective, exacting and openly opinionated, with performance experience always at the centre. His work fits piano literature, performer memoir and classical music interpretation, particularly for readers who want insight into how a pianist thinks through familiar repertoire. Read more Less
