About the Book

Drawing on his expertise as a medical professional and active pianist, Cameron Roberts provides an understanding of how virtuosic piano playing works from an evidence-based, scientific perspective. Using accessible language, this wealth of information will help readers steer away from uncertainty, suboptimal performance, and injury.

About the Author :
Cameron Roberts (MBBS, FRCA) is a concert pianist who performs with many of the world’s finest instrumentalists. He studied both music and medicine at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He also studied music at the National Academy of Music, Australia and internationally. Further, he holds a specialist degree in anaesthetics (Royal College of Anaesthetists, UK). For many years, he taught at the Reina Sofia School of Music, Madrid and, later, completed a PhD on the physical, perceptual and pedagogical aspects of the touch-tone relationship (University of New England, Australia).

Review :

Cameron Roberts is the most ideal person to embark on this type of study. As a brilliant pianist and practicing medical doctor, he combines the disciplines of science and art, bringing his knowledge of the workings of the body in relation to pianism in all its aspects. It is first and foremost intelligent and informative--an absorbing and enjoyable to read.

Highly recommended--this forensic exploration is a keenly scientific and rational handbook on pianism that can assist pianists in skewering the cultural cringe and confidently think for themselves. This book can help you choose your own "ultimate pianism."

This book is a revelation. The universe of pianistic art is examined from all sides and put to the test. The approach is a scientific, rational one, but at the same time, Roberts is also an artist, familiar with the language of emotions and the fragility of aesthetic categories. The book is critically analytical, questioning, and it contains countless practical tips from preventing overuse injuries to working through the difficult etudes and designing a pianistic life plan. Thank you, Cameron!
