“Marvelous work... It is truly a work of extraordinary scope and detail with the added distinction of being wonderfully imaginative and even comical at times. The little drawings just warm my heart, and their connection to such profound musical truths makes them even more unusual.”

"Rozalie Levant in her book, The Anatomy of Musicality, magically describes how to think about practicing in ways most of us have never imagined. The Anatomy of Musicality is an extraordinary book, which has no parallel. I found myself completely engrossed in Levant's book, and predict you will be, too."

“What an absolutely wonderful book! I have been fascinated reading it. Dr. Levant's vivid and sensible explanations give us a roadmap for navigating the difficulties of playing the piano. Using her masterful system, a pianist of any age or level can dissolve long-standing obstacles. Her examples teach practical ways to coax beauty and power from each musical phrase. Nothing else I've ever read about pedagogy has inspired me to begin studying piano again. This book did.”

“This is quite an unique book, with a wealth of ideas presented in an unorthodox and uncompromising but also witty and good humored approach. It really delivers what it promises in its title: the anatomy of musicality. The precision with which this analysis is performed is nothing short of unbelievable. The amount of thought-inspiring ideas is so great that one can read it for years and still find something new...There is a depth of thought and sharpness of perception one only rarely encounters today.”
