Inspired, Brower approached music professionals and asked them to write on the topics presented, and many prominent musicians agreed to participate.. These topics cover the most basic musical concerns such as The Hand of a Pianist to more complex ideas such as Form, Technique, and Expression. No topic is off-limits when considering music education and the performance of the pianist.
