Arrau
on music and performance
Horowitz Joseph

Awarded an ASCAP Deems Taylor Award in 1983 for excellence in
writing about music, this volume-of candid conversations with the
late Claudio Arrau is both a subtle portrait of one of the world’s great
concert artists and a vivid exploration of his unique and intensely felt
beliefs about music and piano performance.

In addition to his conversations with Arrau, former New York Times
critic Joseph Horowitz has included discussions with four renowned
musicians who worked with the celebrated pianist: Philip Lorenz,
Daniel Barenboim, Garrick Ohlsson, and Sir Colin Davis. The result
Is an eminently readable portrait of a great artist, presented in an
intimate, conversational format—sure to fascinate pianists,
musicians, and anyone seriously interested in music and the piano.
