Expressive Conducting: Movement and Performance Theory for
Conductors applies the insight of movement and performance theory
to the practice of conducting, offering a groundbreaking new
approach to conducting. Where traditional conducting pedagogies
often place emphasis on training parts of the body in isolation,
Expressive Conducting teaches conductors to understand their
gestures as part of an interconnected system that incorporates the
whole body. Rather than emphasizing learning specific patterns and
gestures, this book enables student and professional conductors to
develop a conducting technique that is centered around expressing
the themes of the music. Drawing parallels to the worlds of acting,
this text treats the body as the conductor's instrument. Coaching
notes derived from years of experience as a performance movement
specialist offer readers approachable methods for eliminating
communication barriers-both conscious and subconscious-to encourage
optimal performance, highlighting acting theory, movement exercises
and the significance of weight distribution. Unlike other
conducting approaches, this text understands that conducting
resonates throughout the entire body and is not conveyed by the
hands or baton alone. With a comprehensive consideration of the
conductor's body and movements, featuring over 50 original
illustrations, Expressive Conducting advances strategies for
improving one's conducting skills in rehearsal and performance.
Jerald Schwiebert has developed a practical language for expressive
conducting. Together, Schwiebert and Barr present a text that is
suitable for conducting students, instructors, and professionals
alike.

Comprehensive instruction for the Irish Uilleann player. Easy
learning programme. Teach yourself to read music and play the Irish
way. Includes a collection of celebrated traditional tunes.
Take more than forty years of partnering celebrated soloists in
concerts all over the world, add nearly thirty years of teaching
the art of accompanying, and you have the qualifications for such
an audacious title as The Complete Collaborator. All the tools for
understanding and executing first-class collaborative piano are
here, paired with audio recordings of many of the musical examples
performed by the author himself, along with two vocalists, on a
companion website.
The obvious topics: breathing, languages, flexibility, and
creating a collaborative atmosphere are discussed at length,
articulated clearly for the curious novice and proving beneficial
even for the experienced professional. In addition, two significant
chapters deal with orchestral accompaniment, reflecting today's
requirements for any professional accompanist. Oft-neglected
details such as beginning a piece together, telling stories with
piano solos, tuning, and balance between the players are also
covered herein.
Dubbed the "Dean of Accompanists" by the Los Angeles Times, this
teacher of sold-out masters' classes presents his material clearly
and incisively, but always with the humor and wit for which he is
known. Whether it be read by the curious novice, the amateur who
wants to accompany as best he can, or the experienced professional
seeking confirmation or a new look at the role of any partner,
Martin Katz's The Complete Collaborator is all one needs.

Between 1958 and 2002, Luciano Berio wrote fourteen pieces entitled
Sequenza, along with several versions of the same work for
different instruments, revisions of the original pieces and also
the parallel Chemins series, where one of the Sequenzas is used as
the basis for a new composition on a larger scale. The Sequenza
series is one of the most remarkable achievements of the late
twentieth century - a collection of virtuoso pieces that explores
the capabilities of a solo instrument and its player, making
extreme technical demands of the performer whilst developing the
musical vocabulary of the instrument in compositions so assured and
so distinctive that each piece both initiates and potentially
exhausts the repertoire of a new genre. The Sequenzas have
significantly influenced the development of composition for solo
instruments and voice, and there is no comparable series of works
in the output of any other composer. Series of pieces tend to be
linked by the instruments for which the composer writes, but this
is a series in which the pieces are linked instead by the variety
of instruments for which Berio composed. The varied approaches
taken by the contributors in discussing the pieces demonstrate the
richness of this repertoire and the many levels on which Berio and
these landmark compositions can be considered. Contributions are
arranged under three main headings: Performance Issues; Berio's
Compositional Process and Aesthetics; and Analytical Approaches.
