"Ms Roskell's book demonstrates that she has a profound understanding of the obstacle--- technical, musical, physiological, or psychological---encountered by pianists of any age, and an ability to express that understanding in logical terms. I wish I had had access to her book when I was younger."

- Peter Donohoe CBE, writing about Penelope Roskell's The Complete Pianist

"In terms of its quantity and quality, its detail and depth, I know of no comparable resource."
