"Berman has a vast knowledge of Russian sources almost completely unknown in the West and Russian traditions as well as international experience as a performer. He brings a wealth of new ideas and new information. His new book is invaluable." Alexander Ivashkin, Centre for Russian Music, Goldsmiths College, University of London, "A lucid and originally conceived book from one of the most respected performers of this music--essential reading for the enquiring listener and the skilled performer alike."--Christopher Elton, Royal Academy of Music, London, "This new book by Boris Berman is a must read for those who care about the music of Prokofiev. It is a very in-depth guide by someone who has obviously spent many years thinking about and playing the music of this great genius. Bravo to Boris Berman!"--Yefim Bronfman, "Having performed and recorded (to acclaim) Prokofiev's piano sonatas, Professor Berman has a unique point of view to offer in writing about one of the twentieth century's most important collections of piano works. An important, personal, and original work."-Boaz Sharon, Professor of Piano, University of Florida, "Berman has a vast knowledge of Russian sources2;almost completely unknown in the West2;and Russian traditions as well as international experience as a performer.

Bravo to Boris Berman!"-Yefim Bronfman, "Drawing from a wide cultural background and vast experience as performer and teacher, Boris Berman has fashioned a remarkable guide to the Prokofiev piano sonatas."�Jerome Lowenthal, The Julliard School, "Berman's book opens up Prokofiev's musical language marvellously. There is a chapter each for all nine piano sonatas, with a general discussion, then a detailed but accessible analysis, then a 'masterclass' with suggestions for performance practice. Berman briefly traverses his life, musical influences, style and context."--Barney Zwartz, The Age (Australia) "Boris Berman's guide to the Prokofiev Piano Sonatas will undoubtedly become an indispensable resource for pianists who are performing and teaching these masterful works. . . . Readers will undoubtedly benefit both from this new publication."--Ken Williams, American Music Teacher "In this admirable volume, Boris Berman . . . has addressed two different readerships, more or less simultaneously, with equal success: the serious music lover and the professional pianist. What's more, he is an excellent and commendably economical writer, and . . . a master of concise yet well-rounded biography. Equally concise and illuminating is his succeeding analytical portrait of Prokofiev as a pianist, perceived both from the perspectives of his own time and of subsequent generations."--Alexander Letvin, Piano Magazine "Recommended."-- Choice "Berman has a vast knowledge of Russian sources--almost completely unknown in the West--and Russian traditions as well as international experience as a performer.
