A fascinating website on Left-hand Piano music. A comprehensive site, and Dr. Brofeldt will answer if you write him.
Composers
If you'd like to find out more about the mystic, Russian composer and pianist, Alexander Scriabin, the Scriabin Society is a good starting place. (I am a member of the Scriabin Society of America.)
Leopold Godowsky was a Polish-American pianist, composer and educator. The very well done Leopold Godowsky website is loaded with information about Godowsky and his music.
Heinrich Neuhaus was a legendary Russian teacher. His book on piano playing is a must-read for serious pianists. You can find out more at www.neuhaus.it.
Too few musicians have read Mozart's letters. Now read selected letters of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in a sparkling new translation by Robert Spaethling called Mozart's Letters, Mozart's Life . Five stars!
Frederic Meinders is a distinguished composer and pianist. Check out the sound clip of Mr. Meinders' own transcription of Schon Rosmarin. The Frederic Meinders website lists his compositions, and the reviews give you an idea of his extraordinary talents.
