With the folk-rock movement in full swing, the acoustic guitar
hasn't been as much in the spotlight since the Sixties. Artists
such as Turin Brakes, David Gray, Damien Rice, Starsailor, Travis
and Coldplay have put the acoustic guitar centre stage again. This
guide begins by tracing the origins of the instrument through the
millennia, from 19th century troubadours, to the unplugged movement
of the 90s and beyond. It then takes us on a detailed tour of the
players, techniques and kit that has defined the genre over the
years. Complemented with a demonstration CD.

guide to playing the viola with the greatest freedom, dexterity,
and ease. It includes right and left hand exercises to build a
sound technique, sections on how to practice them, how to hold the
viola and bow, how to think about good posture, how to create a
good sound, how to play with the least amount of tension, how to
deal with anxiety, and thoughts on wellness and practice
techniques. Alongside these are photographs and a companion website
of video demonstrations of the exercises played by the author, as
if in a lesson. Interspersed throughout the book are lively and
illuminating anecdotes of van der Werff's own experiences as a
student and as a professional musician, as well as a number of
blank pages and staff paper for the student to literally 'make
notes' and write down their own ideas, offering a space for
creative expression using the skills they learn in reading and
playing along with the text. Bringing together decades of teaching
and performance experience from one of the most respected figures
in viola pedagogy, A Notebook for Viola Players is a master class
in viola ideal for any player hoping to perfect the fundamental
areas of their practice.

Beethoven's Cello is the ideal companion for cellists, pianists,
musicologists and chamber-music devotees desiring a comprehensive
understanding of this beloved repertoire. Winner of the 2018 CHOICE
Outstanding Academic Title Award In 1796 the young Beethoven
presented his first two cello sonatas, Op. 5, at the court of
Frederick William II, an avid cellist and the reigning Prussian
monarch. Released in print the next year, these revolutionary
sonatas forever altered the cello repertoire by fundamentally
redefining the relationship between the cello and the piano and
promoting their parity. Beethoven continued to develop the
potential of the duo partnership in his three other cello sonatas -
the lyrical and heroic Op. 69 and the two experimental sonatas Op.
102, No. 1 and No. 2, transcendent compositions conceived on the
threshold of the composer's late style. In Beethoven's Cello, Marc
D. Moskovitz and R. Larry Todd examine these seminal cornerstones
of the cello repertoire and place them within their historical and
cultural contexts. Also addressed arethe three variation sets and,
in a series of interludes, the cellos owned by Beethoven, the
changing nature of his pianos, the cello-centric 'Triple' Concerto
and the arrangements for cello and piano of other works. Featuring
a preface by renowned cellist Steven Isserlis and concluding with
the reviews of the composer's cello music published during his
lifetime, Beethoven's Cello is the ideal companion for cellists,
pianists, musicologists and chamber-music devotees desiring a
comprehensive understanding of this beloved repertoire. MARC D.
MOSKOVITZ is principal cellist of the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra.
He has recorded the music of virtuoso cellists David Popperand
Alfredo Piatti for the VAI label, and his American premiere of
Zemlinsky's Cello Sonata was heralded by the Washington Post as 'an
impassioned performance'. Moskovitz has contributed to the New
Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians; and his biography,
Alexander Zemlinsky: A Lyric Symphony, was published by Boydell
& Brewer in 2010. Recognized as 'Mendelssohn's most
authoritative biographer' (The New Yorker), R. LARRY TODD is Arts
and Sciences Professor at Duke University. He is the author of
Mendelssohn: A Life in Music, named Best Biography in 2003 by the
Association of American Publishers, and Fanny Hensel: The Other
Mendelssohn, awarded the ASCAP Nicholas Slonimsky Award for
outstanding biography in music. As a pianist, he has recorded with
Nancy Green the complete cello works of Mendelssohn and Fanny
Hensel for JRI Recordings.
In the early seventeenth century, enthusiasm for the violin swept
across Europe-this was an instrument capable of bewitching
virtuosity, with the power to express emotions in a way only before
achieved with the human voice. With this new guide to the Baroque
violin, and its close cousin, the Baroque viola, distinguished
performer and pedagogue Walter Reiter puts this power into the
hands of today's players. Through fifty lessons based on the
Reiter's own highly-renowned course at The Royal Conservatory of
the Hague, The Baroque Violin & Viola, Volume I provides a
comprehensive exploration of the period's rich and varied
repertoire. Volume I covers the basics of choosing a violin,
techniques to produce an ideal sound, and sonatas by Vivaldi and
Corelli. Practical exercises are integrated into each lesson, and
accompanied by rich video demonstrations on the book's companion
website. Brought to life by Reiter's deep insight into key
repertoire based on a lifetime of playing and teaching, The Baroque
Violin & Viola, Volume I: A Fifty-Lesson Course will enhance
performances of professional and amateur musicians alike.

The banjo is emblematic of American country music, and it is at the
core of other important musical movements, including jazz and
ragtime. The instrument has been adopted by many cultures and has
been ingrained into many musical traditions, from Mento music in
the Caribbean and dance music in Ireland. Virtuosos such as Bela
Fleck have played Bach, African music, and Christmas tunes on the
five-string banjo, and the instrument has had a resurgence in pop
music with such acts a Mumford and Sons and the Avett Brothers.
This book offers the first comprehensive, illustrated history of
the banjo in its many forms. It traces the story of the instrument
from its roots in West Africa to its birth in the Americas, through
its coming of age in the Industrial Revolution and beyond. The book
profiles the most important players and spotlights key luthiers and
manufacturers. It features 100 milestone instruments with in-depth
coverage, including model details and beautiful photos. It offers
historical context surrounding the banjo through the ages, from its
place in Victorian parlours and speakeasies through its role in the
folk boom of the 1950s and 1960s to its place in the hands of
songwriter John Hartford and comedian Steve Martin. Folk, jazz,
bluegrass, country, and rock-the banjo has played an important part
in all of these genres. Lavishly illustrated, and thoughtfully
written by author, broadcaster, and acclaimed banjoist Bob Carlin,
this is a must-have for lovers of fretted instruments, aficionados
of roots music, and music history buffs.

formed the basis of many schools of string playing around the
world. Thousands of players continue to find Sevcik an invaluable
aid to technical development. In practicing Sevcik, as in playing
scales, etudes, or pieces there are always four main headings to
consider: purity of intonation, evenness of tone, exactness of
rhythm and physical freedom and ease. Opus 1 Part 1 focuses on
exercises in the first position.
