The much-anticipated companion to Joseph Banowetz's renowned The Pianist's Guide to Pedaling, The Performing Pianist's Guide to Fingering offers practical fingering solutions for technical musical passages. Banowetz, a renowned pianist and pedagogue, emphasizes that fingering choices require meticulous thought and consideration, often being influenced by historical traditions and ideas rather than by the specific performance conditions. In his quest to assist advanced pianists in understanding the composer's musical intent and the intended tempo and dynamics, Banowetz returns to the unedited original compositions. He collaborates with Philip Fowke, who delves into Benno Moiseiwitsch's redistributions in Rachmaninoff's compositions, and Nancy Lee Harper, who explores the diverse approaches to fingering found in Baroque keyboard music.

The Performing Pianist's Guide to Fingering is a valuable resource for advanced pianists seeking to enhance their skills and for instructors seeking to guide students in improving this essential art form. By delving into the intricacies of fingering and exploring the contributions of renowned experts, Banowetz and his collaborators provide insightful guidance that will deepen the pianist's understanding and interpretation of music. This comprehensive guide will undoubtedly contribute to the advancement of piano performance and pedagogy.
