Publisher's Synopsis
An undiscovered classic gem from Hungary on how to best practice music-or any skill. In this undiscovered classic gem from early twentieth-century Hungary, one of the country's most revered music educators of his era sums up his years of methodological and pedagogical research into piano playing and practicing in simple, highly accessible terms that not only students of the piano but of any instrument, and for that matter, just about anyone, can apply to their passions and pursuits. From setting and achieving goals to focusing on what you do best, from the relationship between mental acuity and physical strength to performing in public, Sándor Kovács's How to Practice? is invaluable to anyone who has struggled when practicing a musical instrument, and it also holds its own as a simple guide to life, to living consciously and deliberately.
