Harold Meek writes from a lifetime's experience playing the horn (often first chair) in several of America's great orchestras, notably the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He shares anecdotes and insights about the joys and travails of playing under Fritz Reiner, Otto Klemperer, Serge Koussevitzky, Charles Munch, and others. Meek also brings together some important information about changes in the instrument itself, including a little-known letter from the great British horn virtuoso, Dennis Brain, about the virtues of different makes of horn. A valuable section prints interpretively challenging horn passages from over three dozen masterpieces, ranging from Beethoven symphonies to Weber's Der Freischutz, and evaluates the solutions offered in recordings by various prominent conductors, from Leopold Stokowski, Sir Adrian Boult, George Szell, and Herbert von Karajan to Carlo Maria Giulini, Neville Marriner, Kurt Masur, and Christopher Hogwood.

How fast can you play? What guitar do you have? Who is better, Van Halen or Steve Vai? For metal fans in the 80s, these were common and important questions. Tune in to MTV, pick up a magazine, or walk into an instrument store, and more often than not you d be exposed to what is now known as shredding the fast, virtuoso soloing popularized by musicians like Vai and Van Halen, Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen, Randy Rhoads and Dimebag Darrell. Inspired by these pioneering guitarists, thousands of young musicians would spend hours at home in their bedrooms, perfecting both their playing and their poses. Though shredding fell out of favour during the grunge/alternative rock era, it has become increasingly popular again in recent years, spurred by the rise in popularity of bands like Children Of Bodom, DragonForce, and Trivium. Drawing on more than 70 exclusive interviews with key shredders past and present, author and guitarist Greg Prato has assembled the definitive guide to the fastest players of them all.
