In a collaboration of a different sort, he is one of seven fortepianists on the 10-CD recording of the complete Beethoven piano sonata cycle on CLAVES. With his book, Piano-Playing Revisited: What Modern Players Can Learn from Period Instrumentswhich appeared to critical acclaim in 2021, Breitman summarizes a lifetime of experience as a performer and teacher.
