One Finger Too Many Alfred Brendel English Version German Poetry Paperback\n\nProduct Overview\n\n--Author: Alfred Brendel\n--Publication Name: One Finger Too Many\n--Type: Poetry Book\n\nAlfred Brendel - internationally famous as the supreme interpreter of the\npiano music of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Liszt - is also a poet.\nBetween concert engagements and recording sessions, he has found the time to\nwrite this collection of sardonic, wise, funny, and beautifully turned verses.\nPenetrating light is thrown on those parts of the author's endlessly subtle\nmind and sensibility which his devoted audiences can barely have guessed\nexisted. The supernumerary finger of the book's title, the appearance of\nBrahms's smelly ghost, the war between the bearded and the beardless, the\ncamel's loss of his humps, the appropriateness of laughter, the eventual\nappearance of Godot and the usefulness of identical twins are among the\nimportant subjects he tackles. With the help of Ric!
