The Piston book is a handy reference book for general details. But it's NOT the best place to get esotheric information on unusual performance techniques. Gotta admit that. Maybe I like the Piston just for the fingering charts and some of the minor performance details it gives.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
