Music for the piano;: A handbook of concert and teaching material from 1580 to 1952, (The Field of music)

Don't confuse this book with the 'Guide To The Pianist's Repertoire' by Maurice Hinson. It is not nearly as comprehensive. But for the money, it is a good place to start and might be all that many pianists and teachers need. The price is an added bonus. Much information at a very modest cost.Recommended

This book is an excellent reference for pianists and music lovers alike. It covers a vast amount of piano literature, essentially all classical and modern piano music heard today and also lots of music little heard. For each piece, organized by composer and period, a short review is presented, intended to give the reader an idea of the piece's artistic value, technical difficulty, etc. Although only to be used as a general guideline, these comments are valuable. Well worth the money!
