In dialogue with Piero Ferrucci, Maestro Giovanni Carmassi outlines the core of his approach to pianistic artistry: Before a piece is performed, it must be conceived and constructed in the mind of the musician. The conversations in this book examine the cornerstones on which the art of piano playing are based: - The body's weight in the expression of colour - Breath, pause, silence - Rhythm and meter - The role of memory - The relationship with the audience - Historical context - Orchestration on the piano - The danger of stereotypes, mechanical playing and narcissistic exhibition A guide for every musician or aspiring musician, this book gives directions that are immediately practical. Through its conversational style it explains concepts and the means to realize them, perhaps obvious to a teacher but elusive to a student. The ultimate goal is to show that in playing a piece of music the pianist's whole being participates - mind and heart, memory and attention, culture and instinct, the whole body, and the breath. Drawing from his vast teaching experience, Maestro Carmassi shows students the way to achieve their truest and most brilliant musical interpretation. Giovanni Carmassi, a concert pianist, has taught piano performance in the Conservatories of Pesaro, Bologna, La Spezia, Milan and Florence. Piero Ferrucci is a psychotherapist and philosopher. He has written various books, among which Beauty and the Soul.

The bestselling psychotherapist and author of The Power of Kindness provides concrete, meaningful lessons in developing internal willpower during times of personal crisis. We all experience periods of gloom, fear, and uncertainty. But we each possess deep reserves of inner strength and wisdom for dealing with such setbacks. Indeed, it is the very arrival of darkened circumstances that can summon our untapped energies. In Your Inner Will, therapist and philosopher Piero Ferrucci explores how to play on the iron chords of our interior selves. In this stirring and deeply practical work, Ferrucci provides a full program for the cultivation of the will by employing insights from classical mythology and wisdom teachings, neuroscience research, case studies, and psychological exercises. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of will and is followed by exercises that guide the reader in its development.

Ferrucci describes the pitfalls we face when our inner strength is lacking, and shows us what we can expect when it is healthfully developed. An effective will can guide us in our search for inner freedom; it helps us to take risks and to renew ourselves; it makes us feel strong and confident. Your Inner Will is an immensely practical study that helps readers navigate crises and pursue more purposeful lives.
