Title: Disappointing
Product review: It feel that Mr. Sherman is capable of better writing than this rather dubious collection of cerebral flatus. I get the impression that he is trying to prove how clever he is, whilst simultaneously trying to make the reader feel inadequate. The content of his musings range from remarkably insightful to pretentious claptrap. Reading the book is like panning for gold, you have to sort through a great deal of aggregate to find a little gold dust - but it is there if you have the patience.I am not familiar with the author's piano work, but as a student of the instrument I can tell his has considerable knowledge of the subject. His writing however would benefit from a dose of pragmatism, reduction of pretension and condescension.On the whole much is promised but little is delivered.
