Among those, the Russian School and the German School seem to be the most powerful. The individualism of each pianist, however, had grown stronger during the past decades, resulting in the decline of the conservative styles in piano performing. Nowadays, noted pianists focus on searching for the way of piano playing which suits their nature, taste, personality and imagination, mainly basing on the academic music interpreta- tion. In Thailand, there are as well schools of piano playing where each teacher would justify ways of piano playing to the students. Key words : art of piano playing, school of piano playing, piano
