Setting the Record Straight
The words surrounding music influence how we listen to it.
Off the Record
Off the Record is a revealing exploration of piano performing practices of the high Romantic era. Author and well-known keyboard player Neal Peres Da Costa bases his investigation on a range of early sound recordings (acoustic, piano roll and electric) that capture a generation of highly-esteemed pianists trained as far back as the mid-nineteenth-century.

The contents of this book will provide entertaining matter for the concert-goer and the record collector, facts for the seeker after musical curiosities, and much material for musical quizzes.
