This book answers questions from real classical music lovers about
things they have always wondered but didn't know whom to ask. The
information in this book is not readily found in music history or
appreciation books, nor can it be found on line. Questions explored
are: Do string players in orchestras get paid more because they
play more than other instruments? Why does an orchestra tune to an
oboe when there are electronic tuners? How does a composer decide
what key to compose in? Why is the 1812 Overture played on the 4th
of July? And many, many more! The answers represent behind the
scenes, real world, insights into how classical musicians view and
discuss these questions. There is even some insight into the jokes
classical musicians find funny. This book is intended for the
person who loves listening to classical music, either live or
recorded and will provide hours of enjoyment as the reader
invariably shakes his or her head and asks in wonderment "Who
knew!"

During the 1930s Arturo Toscanini conducted many concerts broadcast
by the BBC from London's Queen's Hall, where he also made some
unsurpassed recordings. Drawing on newly researched material in
British and American archives, Christopher Dyment reveals how the
most renowned and influential conductor of the twentieth century,
notoriously microphone-shy though he was, came to conduct so
frequently in London, a tale replete with unexpected twists, turns
and ingenious stratagems. Toscanini's dominating influence on
London critics and audiences in the period covered by the
narrative, extending through to his final appearances at the Royal
Festival Hall in 1952, is copiously documented from contemporary
sources. Dyment also presents fresh evidence showing how the
remarkable combination of passionate conviction and architectural
mastery that characterised Toscanini's conducting was grounded not
only in his obsessive study of the score but also in his awareness
of performing traditions dating back to the mid-nineteenth century.
This book will fascinate those with a particular interest in
Toscanini's career and recorded legacy. It is also essential
reading for anyone with an interest in the history of conducting
and recording in the first half of the twentieth century, set
against the vividly evoked backdrop of London's concert scene of
the period. This comprehensive study includes both an annotated
table of all Toscanini's London concerts and his EMI discography.
CHRISTOPHER DYMENT has written extensively about historic
conductors since the 1970s, particularly Felix Weingartner and
Arturo Toscanini. His first book, on Weingartner, was published in
1976.
(Music Sales America). Arranged here for violin with piano
accompaniment, Rieding's Concerto in B Minor, Op. 35 is a spirited

Scott Tennant, world-class classical guitarist and well-respected
guitar eduactor, has brought together the most comprehensive
technique handbook for the classical guitarist. It is presented
here in both standard music notation and TAB. In addition to
technical information not available elsewhere, he has compiled
selections from Giuliani's 120 Right-Hand Studies; musical examples
by Bach, Turina, Rodrigo and others; Tarrega arpeggio studies; and
original compositions by Andrew York and Brian Head. Essential
information and a great sense of humor are effectively combined in
this best-selling book.
