Lowest Price Nurtured by Love: The Classic Approach to Talent Education

I read this a few years ago. Yes, it's a bit meandering, and some of the insights (those who practice more, play better; gentleness is the best teaching technique) are less than revolutionary. Perhaps also because the book is so simple and so understated, it's easy to put it down unimpressed.

With the passage of time I find myself more and more often referring back to the lessons about music and language, about practicing toward absolute comfort and ease with the material. It has helped me improve my playing, and it has helped with the lessons I give.

When a book comes back and haunts you years after you read it, that's usually a very good sign.
