Off the Record is a revealing exploration of piano performing practices of the        high Romantic era. Author and well-known keyboard player Neal Peres Da Costa bases        his investigation on a range of early sound recordings (acoustic, piano roll and        electric) that capture a generation of highly-esteemed pianists trained as far back        as the mid-nineteenth-century. Placing general practices of late nineteenth-century        piano performance alongside evidence of the stylistic idiosyncrasies of legendary        pianists such as Carl Reinecke (1824-1910), Theodor Leschetizky (1830-1915), Camille        Saint-Saens (1838-1921) and Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), he examines prevalent        techniques of the time--dislocation, unnotated arpeggiation, rhythmic alteration,        tempo fluctuation--and unfolds the background and lineage of significant        performer/pedagogues. Throughout, Peres Da Costa demonstrates that these early        recordings do not simply capture the idiosyncrasies of aging musicians as has been        commonly asserted, but in fact represent a range of established expressive practices        of a lost age.An extensive collection of these fascinating and sometimes rare        professional recordings of the Romantic age masters are available on a companion web        site, and in addition, Peres Da Costa, himself a renowned period keyboardist,        illustrates points made throughout the book with his own playing. Of essential value        to student and professional pianists, historical musicologists of 19th and early        20th century performance practice, and also to the general music aficionado        audience, Off the Record is an indispensable resource for scholarly research,        performance inspiration, and listening enjoyment.
