On the occasion of these Christmas holidays I want to offer you my best wishes and a musical gift. May it serve you as inspiration for your musical activities for many years.
It is the Rules for a Musical Life, by Robert Schumann, written in 1848 and published as an appendix to his collection of piano pieces Album for the youth. They are a series of suggestions originally intended for piano students but are perfectly suitable for all musicians of any age, level and musical genre, student or otherwise, excellent food for thought on how to develop one's musicality.
The document is designed to be printed on an A3 sheet (29.7 x 42 cm) and thus becomes a nice poster to frame and hang.
You
can also use it as a gift to all your relatives, colleagues, friends, students, teachers, your school or anyone with an interest and passion for music. I only ask you not to make any changes to it.

This book too received a very positive comment from Yehudi Menuhin.
"Dear Kató
Havas, I would like to... congratulate you on your book
"Stage fright" ... It is the most realistic and practical approach imaginable.... it should be worth its weight in gold to every student and many a performer.”
Sir Yehudi Menuhin
