Excerpt from Fifty Years Experience of Pianoforte Teaching and Playing
In looking back over a fifty years' experience of piano-forte-playing and teaching the fact that stands out most vividly in my recollection is the enormous progress made all over the world, but more particularly in England, during the 'sixties and 'seventies of the last century. I say "more particularly in England" advisedly, for it must be confessed that this country stood at that time in more urgent need of musical progress than any other of the leading nations of the world. All the more honour to her and to her musicians for having wiped off the arrears so handsomely, and for winning her present proud position amongst the foremost of her rivals!
In submitting the facts of this progress to a brief review, I am afraid that the personal pronoun must inevitably crop up now and again, as the period of that improvement happens to coincide with my own musical growth, and I was therefore lucky enough to come into personal contact with nearly all the great pianists of that time, including Moscheles, Liszt, von Bulow, Rubinstein, Tausig, and the rest of that glorious band of artists to whom the credit of raising the standard of pianoforte-playing throughout the world is chiefly due.

This book by the renowned pianist and music educator Oscar Beringer provides a captivating chronicle of the remarkable advancements in piano playing and teaching throughout the latter half of the 19th century. Set against a backdrop of tumultuous musical upheaval, the author documents the gradual emergence of modern piano technique and musical interpretation. Beringer recounts his personal encounters with legendary figures such as Liszt, Wagner, and Clara Schumann, painting a vivid picture of their artistry and influence on the evolving musical landscape. Through the lens of his experiences as a student of some of the era's most influential teachers, including Tausig and Moscheles, he delves into the intricacies of piano technique and pedagogical methods. Beyond technical advancements, the author explores the broader impact of societal changes on musical expression. The rise of nationalism and the growing popularity of the pianoforte in bourgeois society are examined alongside the heated debates surrounding the works of Wagner and other composers who pushed musical boundaries. This book not only serves as a historical account of a transformative period in piano playing but also offers valuable insights into the interplay between music, culture, and society. By revisiting the vibrant musical world of the mid-19th century, it invites readers to appreciate the profound impact that these advancements have had on the art form to this day.
