After the Golden Age: Romantic Pianism and Modern Performance Book

I used this book as an accompaniment to my first piano classes and it helped me going through the basics of music notation quite rapidly. This book is clear and easy to comprehend in most of its
chapters. Yet, it doesn't give a clear and sufficient idea about everything (It depends more on why you are reading the book actually). But from chapter 7 onwards, I noticed that parts of the material discussed started to get more complicated to the summarization level used by the author. So I thought there lies groups of information that needed more elaboration.

Nevertheless, as a total beginner to music theory, this book was really helpful to me in many of its aspects, and most of the information it contains was of magnificent help to me. This book was definitely responsible for a not-bad progress to me in music theory.
