Book excerpt: The memoir that inspired Roman Polanski's Oscar-winning film, which won the Cannes Film Festival's most prestigious prize—the Palme d'Or. Named one of the Best Books of 1999 by the Los Angeles Times On September 23, 1939, Wladyslaw Szpilman played Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor live on the radio as shells exploded outside—so loudly that he couldn't hear his piano. It was the last live music broadcast from Warsaw: That day, a German bomb hit the station, and Polish Radio went off the air. Though he lost his entire family, Szpilman survived in hiding. In the end, his life was saved by a German officer who heard him play the same Chopin Nocturne on a piano found among the rubble. Written immediately after the war and suppressed for decades, The Pianist is a stunning testament to human endurance and the redemptive power of fellow feeling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography is the first-ever telling of the compelling story of a remarkable woman and pianist. Adele aus der Ohe was born and raised in Germany. She played her orchestral debut at the age of ten and became a student of Franz Liszt at the age of twelve. She arrived in America young and unknown, was an immediate success, and quickly became one of the most sought-after artists of her day. She toured from St. Petersburg, Russia, to San Francisco, and California. She was a favorite of the Boston Symphony and performed with this venerable organization an astonishing fifty-one times. When Carnegie Hall was dedicated, the finest musicians of the day were engaged Tchaikovsky to conduct and aus der Ohe to solo. She became a friend of Tchaikovsky and he invited her to St. Petersburg to perform his Piano Concerto in B-flat minor at the same concert that featured the premier of his Pathetique Symphony, which turned out to be Tchaikovsky's final performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Music Study in Germany IN preparing for the public letters which were written only for home, I have hoped that some readers would find in them the charm of style which the writer's friends fancy them to possess; that others would think the description of her masters amid their pupils, and especially Liszt, worth preserving; while piano students would be grateful for the information that an analysis of the piano technique has been made, such as very greatly to diminish the difficulties of the instrument. How much of Herr Deppe's piano method is original with himself, pianists must decide. That he has at least made an invaluable re'sume' of all or most of their secrets, my sister believes no student of the instrument who fairly and conscientiously examines into the matter will deny.

Download or read book Hitler s Piano Player written by Peter Conradi and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2006-01-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through newly declassified documents, interviews with surviving members of the Hanfstaengl family, and original writings by Putzi, historian and author Peter Conradi weaves Putzi's captivating tale. It was at a Munich Beer Hall in 1922 that this German man first saw Hitler speak, introduced himself and made his way in 20th-century history. Acting as haughty court jester, soothing pianist, and savvy foreign press chief for Hitler, Putzi became a close ally of the Fuehrer. Yet, once Putzi fell out of Hitler's graces, he escaped Germany, was interned in Britain, transferred to Canada and finally to America. Here, in an unusual turn of allegiance, Putzi began working with FDR, an acquaintance from New York's Harvard Club, and became the star of Roosevelt's "S-Project." He provided the White House with biographical information on hundreds of leading Nazis, analyses of Hitler's speeches, and a 68-page psychological portrait of Hitler —describing his education, diet and even his sex life. Filled with revelations about Hitler's personal life and descriptions of American psychological warfare, Hitler's Piano Player is a gripping book about a man torn apart by the most antagonistic of loyalties and history's missing personal link between Hitler and FDR.
