While Cziffra sprinkles a few observations about piano playing throughout the story, these are brief. Some of them include his belief that by not learning music at the same time he was learning piano, he was able to concentrate more on the actual playing rather than having to constantly move back and forth between the printed score and the keyboard. He also talks about the benefits playing jazz gave him. At the end of the book, he quotes some passages from Liszt about Chopin; these clearly also express his own thoughts. But, there is no real detail about what he did at the Liszt Academy, how he was taught there, or very much about his career after leaving Hungary. I guess he assumes those reading the book probably already know about it. He also doesn't say anything about how he actually met his wife--an Egyptian born in London, or about what happened to his parents, who struggled so much to help their children survive in the slum where they grew up. There is, however, a dissertation online that fills in some of the gaps about his musical education before the war and about his performances after returning to the concert halls in Hungary: https://libres.uncg.edu/ir/uncg/f/umi-uncg-1617.pdf, Chapter IV.… (altro)
