‘Reading Walking up the Mountain Track has been a deep and enriching experience for me. I could find here several ideas on the sense of music-making, tied to some more general thoughts on the human existence, which I feel as part of my own approach to music and life. Still, I could never read them in such a clear and poetic form as they are expressed here.
This book is a perfect companion for any pianist or music lover, as it provides a lot of information and ideas about the piano performance, showing how it is always deeply connected with our spiritual dimension. It is also striking to note how many of the greatest musicians in the history, here quoted, shared a similar view on music and life.
Any reader will find this book of great interest and will discover how music, and more in general, the “art of listening” can bring a great improvement to our life.’
