He has become increasingly dismayed about the way contemporary orchestra leaders have been ignoring the composer's intentions in playing the basic concert repertory from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. In this controversial new book, Schuller puts forth his own principles of conducting, and then analyses in detail several classical masterpieces, comparing the composers' original notation to the way conductors interpret them. Showing ways in which current orchestra and conducting standards can be radically improved, this book is an indictment of contemporary musical trends and an incisive study of the dialogue between composition and performance.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 157mmItem Width: 39mmItem Weight: 858gAuthor: Gunther SchullerGenre: Music Dance & TheatreType: StylesRelease Year: 1999 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
