"This book is essential for all music libraries and those who perform in chamber ensembles with pianists." —American Reference Books Annual 2007
"If chamber music is ‘the music of friends,’ then Maurice Hinson may be remembered . . . as one of chamber music’s greatest friends of all." —Contemporary Keyboard
"The scope and excellence of this handbook designate it the major compendium of information about chamber music that involves the piano as an equal partner." —MLA Notes
"Hinson concentrates on works that include the piano as an equal participant, and each entry is annotated with a brief description of the style of the composition, both musical and technical, and an assessment of its difficulty from the pianist's viewpoint. . . . A reference work of exceptional value for teachers, students, and performers." —Library Journal |
