“The Musical Compromise” book is a result of A. Rotenberg's many years experience of work as a coach-pianist of opera. It is written in an easy and intelligible language, contains a good number of professional advice and can be safely taken for a practical manual for both the author's colleagues and the soloist who will find in it much useful material for work on their own. Surely, the edition is first of all addressed to the young pianists, who have decided to devote themselves to the cause of working in the opera house. 
2d edition completed with chapter “Competitions”, which, in opinion of the author, is being actual nowadays. A.?Rotenberg describes in details not only a process of preparation, but as well as the specificity of performance of competition programs.
